I noticed that the IBM PC BBS has now has version 1.33 ThinkPad video
drivers. I used version 1.32 under OS/2 2.1 and found them to be
painfully slow, if bug-free and stable. I am quite happy with the
speed of the new drivers that came with Warp. Unfortunately, as is
documented, there is corruption on the monochrome LCD screen of my
TP750 when using seamless Windows. There are other bugs in that driver,
also. Has anyone installed version 1.33 under OS/2 yet? Is the speed
better? Has anyone found a way to solve Warp's problems with
monochrome screens? IBM OS/2 support says that the problem will have
to be addressed by the ThinkPad people. I will probably try the
ThinkPad drivers and post the results of their performance here soon,
but I thought I would query the group first to see if anyone else had
done this.

By the way, updating the BIOS to level 1.15 has not solved the problem
of video corruption on the monochrome LCD under Warp.
