  Does drivers/vga.grd work?  I just got djgpp to try out and I can't get 
any of the samples to display anything.  I am trying it out on a DECpc 
466D2LP that has an S3 compatible video on-board.  I can't get any 
graphics to display.  For example:

C:\DJGPP\SAMPLES\ESCAPE> gcc main.cc -o main -lgr
C:\DJGPP\SAMPLES\ESCAPE> set GO32=ansi driver c:/djgpp/drivers/vga.grd
C:\DJGPP\SAMPLES\ESCAPE> set GO32TMP=c:/tmp
C:\DJGPP\SAMPLES\ESCAPE> go32 main

The program runs and nothing happens.  I hit a key and it returns to the 
DOS prompt.  I also tried samples/grtask.  It changes the text color, 
sits and does nothing, and ends with a key press.  Am I missing something 
here?  I have booted my PC with only HIMEM.SYS running.  I have 8M RAM.

  Thanks in advance,

    Ed
