Hi:

I've been using RHIDE for tha last weeks and think it is the only
companion that DJGPP needed to be the BEST compiler around.

Now, I came against a little problem. I'm using the GRX 2.0 graphics
library, and when debugging, the SVGA status is not properly saved and
restored when coming in and going out of the internal debugger.

I guess that the problem is that the debugger only saves and restores
the standard VGA status. I realize that writing specific drivers to
properly save and restore the status would be a huge task, but...

Wouldn't it be quite easy to use the VESA function that saves and
restores SVGA status ?. I'm willing to do it, but before getting into
RHIDE sources i'd like to get some comments.

Regards. Nacho.
