Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS 0.3.4 Hardware Support

The VGA issue are more complex that you think. 
 the VGA drv is correct and the ntoskrnl is correct
seam be right it is some undoc behoirs.
 I think cause the regress. I expain for both hpousin and alesky
what I think goes wrong. none of them have come up with 
any idea to fix the issue, I am out of idea what really goes 
wrong. only way is to debug windows and reactos
see what is diffent behoirs and what goes wrong.
