Hello!
Well, I don't think it is a good idea to let it redraw it in
supermode. It blocks (doesn't it?). It is not clever to call all the
methods in supermode from the memory protection point of view (I loose
the advantage of catching fauls and I gain more likely OS corruption
problems).
Isn't that obvious from the kernel maintainer point of view? What are
you getting at?
You confuse me. I already clarified that under XaAES progdefs are not
called in supermode (they are called like a signal handler).
We spoke about applications and TOS/MagiC AES:

You: >> Not *rely*, but they need to *support* such behaviour.
I: >> What you need on special support if progdefs are running in

And now you started to speak about FreeMiNT and XaAES.
Ciao
