That patch was the *only* one which was reported to work at the time
the FAQ was released.  I don't use GRX (or Allegro, for that matter)
myself, so I must rely on others here.

To this day, I know of _no_ other patches which are self-contained and
proven to be bug-free.  This thread is yet another evidence that
there's still no consensus on this issue.

If someone has enough motivation to post a tested self-contained
patch, please announce it here, and I will change the FAQ.

And while at that, why not upload the fixed version of GRX to SimTel,
so that the FAQ won't need to point people at patches?
