I was responding to the messages telling me to use text mode only. I
responsed (and in hindsight, I suppose I didn't word the response quite
correctly) explaining that text mode was not acceptable because I
wouldn't be able to use most of my current applications.

If I wanted a text-only OS, I'd use DOS. I use OS/2 because of the WPS
interface.

Now, if nobody knows why FP12 broke the S3 Virge drivers, this thread is
over.
