[GEM Development] New 256 colour driver

Thorsten is having trouble posting to the list, so I am forwarding this
mail for him:

Hi!!

I have tried the new SD256 Vesa driver (OpenGEM Liberation Beta3 in
an Dosbox Win98SE) and it's great to the screen resolution. It's the
first opportunity for me to run more than 640x480 on my Matrox
Millenium II (the "normal" GEM Vesa driver don't work properly. The
screen is moved to the left).
But I encountered some problems:
- First the small one. The animation of the menus and windows
sometimes look a little strange (the colors are flashing while
drawing the menus). Maybe that's a "Liberation" problem.
- When resizeing a desktop window/folder (for example the standart
C:\gemapps) the system hangs if the window becomes to "big".
- Basic2 don't runs anymore (it starts and before displaying anything
escapes).
- In Write.app the menu isn't accesible with the mouse anymore.
- The whole system seems to become a little unstable. Sometimes
shutting down with an windows error (illegal access).

And one suggestion: Maybe a 800x600 version of the driver would be nice.

Good work!!!
