  When does ScreenBlaster run (before or after the AES)? The new MultiTOS
  AES redirects BIOS I/O to go through the same mechanism as AES keyboard
  events, so that programs that mix BIOS and AES keyboard handling will
  work correctly. Unfortunately, this means that programs that mix BIOS
  and hardware keyboard handling break. Perhaps this is what's happening?
  
The ScreenBlaster program is right before MiNT in the AUTO folder. The
resolution selection occurs after all AUTO folder programs finish, before
accessories are loaded. It also occurs before accessories are reloaded when
changing resolutions from the desktop.
