I have tested that but no change. I think I have found why the 1.15.1-1.2
and 1.15.1-1.3 kernels does not work.

Then I boot up clean (mintmp.prg with mintos + N.AES) I get the message:
pid 55 (AESSYS): realloc_region: need 153000 bytes, only have 38400

I get the message again then I try to change from 2 to 16 colours.

I get the same message if I boot up with AES v4.1. I missed this message
before because it happend then he tryed to change screenrez but now I
debug to my printer.

The problem seems to be: the mintkernel does not give the aes neccesery
screenmemory and that explain why I cant change screenrez and why Blowboot
crash.
