Thanks for the suggestion, but I just tried it and it doesn't work. I again
get the wacky mirror effect display. Even odder is that after typing in
"vmode 17 32" (and getting the mirror thing) when I type in just "vmode" to
see what the resolution is it reports back that it is 15 32 . Well at least
I DID get 32 bit color :) but the weird three part screen is no good.
