I'm having a similar problem:  I'm trying to write a program that uses VDI
graphics routines but _without_ the AES running (because I want to start
the AES with that app).  I open my physical workstation and the call is
successful, yet, there is only garbage on the screen.  The same happens
when I start N.AES and exit it.

So how can I change the resolution?  With the GEMDOS calls?  My problem is
rather in the other direction.  I need to switch from 640 x 480 to
whatever the video card makes (1024 x 768 on my machine).

Is there anything else I have to take care of when using the VDI w/o AES?
I vaguely remember something of an alpha mode of the VDI.  Is it necessary
to explicitely switch to graphics mode?  What about returning to a
console?  Will this require a switch-back to alpha mode?

Any help is appreciated!

Ciao
