Subject: V1.0 and VGA graphics

I recently upgraded from version 1.09 to version 1.10 of DJGPP. However, I'm
unable to use VGA or SVGA graphics with version 1.10 of GO32. I'm using
the GrSetMode(GR_default_graphics) call from the graphics library and either
the builtin VGA driver or tsenk4k.grd or paradise.grd (with two different SVGAs
of course). In either case the VGA remains in text mode. Recompilation /
relinking of the program didn't solve the problem. It however works with
GO32 v1.09, with GO32X supplied with gmvsa001.zip and also with a modified
version of v1.10 (called v1.10u) which comes with DISPLAY 1.56 posted recently
to alt.binaries.pixutils.

The system on which I have tried this is a 386DX/33 with a '387 and 4 MB of
RAM running under MSDOS 5.0.

Could this be the the result of an improper setup (CONFIG.SYS) or is it a bug
in v1.10 (not very likely, I guess)? Any hints would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Stefan.
