Serious bug in newer nVidia cards VESA VBE - wokaround TSR! (Users)

We was able to make a workaround for buggy nVidia BIOS.
After consulting with Falcosoft user he was kind to wrote a small TSR that changes number of video pages returned by VBE func 01h. This enforces the affected games to not use HW page flipping and use copy buffer instead. Works fine with Quake, Blood, Duke 3D :) Of course I will try to make permanent BIOS mod if I find it in DASM...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
