I think he's using the DOS client; the NT prompt he's referring to is when
the client connects to the Citrix server.
Angus, do you know if the DOS client writes to the video card directly? I
don't recally specifically, but I doubt there are DOS drivers for the video
card. It's probably some wierdness with the S3 chipset - something they
implement differently than the VGA standard. It might just be that one S3
chipset, though - the never Savage4 cards may behave differently. Have you
tried one of the newer cards, or shied away from them?
