Hi :)

I saw the commit. So did you also verify pageflipper now works 
correctly? (just curious :)
Tomorrow I'll update my copy of SVN and have a look :)


Thanks!


BTW About the cursor: I did this in a testapp:
-setup BwindowScreen: all modes are 60Hz however.
-once it shows, call BSCreen::Setmode to set 70Hz. At this point the 
cursor shows, which I think should not have been influenced by the 
BScreen call.
(app server could check of the call was done within a BWindowScreen 
screen, and dont' touch the cursor then?)


I think this kind of use of Bscreen::Setmode inside on a workspace 
that's occupied with fullscreen BWindowScreen is a valid use. Apart 
from the cursor it indeed works as expected in R5/dano. Any thoughts 
about that?

Bye!


Rudolf.
