Not very lengthy, but it is

OK ... you probably know that there is for "external" people no easy way to write, and even less to compile a potential patch ... and submitting an untested one is not significantly safer than submitting random garbage

Thus you are confirming that HDPMI=32 is a bad hack

Yeah ... is there a piece of code that is NOT a hack anywhere in the universe ? Adding my "hack" would be a great improvement of HX

HDPMI=32 and DPMILDR=8 ?

Yeah ... I didn't ask for "disabling" it ...

In future, not yet ?

> Some Win32 applications need that (i.e. CygWin).

Thus true multitasking ? For doing what ? Compiling ?
