I am using an ATI-VGA Wonder card (in a Gateway 386/20 machine, 4MB
RAM, 65 MB hdd). I have a serious performance problem when using
Windows (either 286 or 386) in the 1024x768 mode, using the driver
provided by ATI, revision 1.03. 

Two operations in particular take unreasonable time. Moving a window
around on the screen results in a VERY slow repainting of the
window - this take between 10 to 30 (!) seconds. Scrolling a text
editor (notepad, write etc.) by a single line, either using arrow keys
or by clicking on the arrows in the scroll bar, is also VERY slow.
In contrast, stretching a window is done reasonably fast (though not
as fast as in the standard VGA mode) to the point that the best way to
move a window is to stretch two sides or two corners. Also, paging
through a file (page up/down buttons or clicking on the scrollbar) is
reasonably fast.

I called ATI and was told that it wasn't me - that's the way it works,
and they can do nothing about it until Microsoft comes up with Windows
that has a larger buffer (?). Yet, I can't imagine anybody actually using
Windows with this kind of performance.

Does anybody experience the same problems, or, better yet, does
anybody know of a way to improve the situation? Any information will be
appreciated.
