So do I take it correctly that the sync bug IS a videl prob, but that mint
1.14.7 "patches" that? In that case I understand why also some vconsds
claim to fix the sync bug, like Anders' megapatch. I do use it, and I
still have a "small sync bug" when I go to a vcon when the aes is in 256
colors. But it's only one or two pixels off. This was both with mint
1.14.6 and mint 1.14.7.
Btw, congrats to all on the new MiNT and the planned development of MiNT
1.15!
