I tested some different setups now: 1. fvdi started from mint.cnf, no NVDI -> flashing cursor (pixels), display of ttf fonts wrong 2. fvdi in C:/auto before mint.prg, no NVDI -> same as 1. 3. fvdi before NVDI in C:/auto -> screen out of range (wrong res.) Perhaps a wrong entry in assign.sys, what must be set there? 4. NVDI before fvdi -> Display of boot-messages stops at "press q to skip fvdi", but boot-process goes on, XaAES starts: NO flashing cursor! But display of ttf fonts is still wrong with all apps i tested (only first word of a line is displayed, TeraDesks fontselector don't show font-previews). In all (working) cases, XaAES window context-menu hangs the system (need to reboot). I don't know where these flashing cursors are coming from. I hope that someone can fix this! Lars
