> How do you start fVDI? I tried both boot-starting (with and without NVDI)
In this case it was auto-booting without NVDI. Starting it from the desktop
is not really a very good idea when using the Eclipse, since the AES can
get rather confused (at the very least you'll only get a 'window' the size
of your previous screen and the number of available colours won't increase.

You're likely to get bus errors if you use an engine and a device driver
that aren't supposed to work together. The interface is still somewhat in flux.

Ugly how?
The latest releases (don't recall for how long) can do circles, ellipses and
pies, but some programs may do their radio buttons in ways that fVDI doesn't
like very much yet (IIRC, GEMBench has some in its lower right corner that
come out all black with the current version (they've been visible before...)).

Hmm. I've not tested the bitplane drivers much for a while (they actually
haven't been updated for the last few engine releases), but this used
to work fine. The code for those right-move blits is definitely in there.
What mode were you running in?
