For instance I have tested two different VESA drivers and both were buggy. The one specail for my et4000 (tlivesa.com) did not support the "Get Window address" subfunction correct and the second (univbe51, probably the same as you), destroyed in some unusual way the video memory when it shouldn't (VESA function 0x02 with bit 15 set in bx). So this may you problem. An other try would be for you to run RHIDE with the "-G 1" switch to use the second implemented methode to save/restore the screen. See if that helps you. And a note for all of you who want to have good graphic debugging support. I am NOT a graphics programming guru. If someone think, he has an better way to do that, please contact me or look at the sources.
