D3D is great, much faster windowed mode than opengl on my system (ykhwong's 4/7/06, core duo 1.66, ati X1400 mobility, omega drivers 3.8.221, 2 gb ram). However, it hangs when I switch to fullscreen, which the other modes don't (although some crash). It happens in text and vesa modes; I'm mostly testing it with redneck rampage and plain dos. Resolution (incl. "original"), scaling, sound, make no difference.
The exact symptoms of the hang: Black Screen. No longer responds to keyboard, mouse, etc. Uses 0% cpu. Always on top - no other apps can be switched to. However, you can switch to get to the taskbar and right-click-close, which works fine.
Bizarrely enough, it keeps playing music; I was treated to redneck rampage 8-track music for several minutes after I closed it. :p (DOSBox is not in the task manager list at all.)
So do you think this isn't going to work until the patch it updated? Is there something I can test or do to help find out what's going on to fix it? It seems there has been a minor omega update, I'll try that too.
