Excellent! Then I can dump FastVid and Dos4GW from the GVFM distribution. So how can one get it to do this?

Btw, it might be just me being dim (again), but I can't find VESAMTRR.EXE anywhere in your distro's, only its source code and help file.

I do give fair warning about this in GVFM's ReadMe. Also, my nVidia 7600 card doesn't make a mess of 4bpp modes when A0000-AFFFF is set to WC (!!), so sometimes there are no disadvantages to doing so.
