Btw, I have installed nothing 3 last days....
And guess what. RHIDE works again. I really don't know what's the problem.
I think I should download RHIDE sources and remove redundant things, such as gfx
mode changing. It will work.....
Btw, why not to add a command line option that disables all the mode switchings
inside the RHIDE? This will solve all the problems and RHIDE will work normally
in 80x25 mode.
bye.
