Straight from the CD, today.

Changing from X_SVGA to X_S3 in BL2 fixed the barcode problem.    Trio32.
The BL3 X_SVGA server displayed the fonts properly.

I did, and it does not work properly on that computer with Trio32 or 
Trio64.  The BL2 SW7.1 X_S3 server works properly on that hardware.

The problems occur with

BL2 X_SVGA server - barcode fonts (BL3 X_SVGA server is okay with fonts)

BL3 X_S3 server - Opera black background  (BL2 X_S3 is okay with Opera)

BL3 X_SVGA server - Opera black background  (did not try in BL2 due to 
barcode fonts problem).

Xvesa works if I bypass system files.
BL2 X_S3  server works

I may have possibly mixed up some details but I tried to keep notes.  We 
were fiddling with Windows and modems at the same time.
