Well, I have an ATI Ultra+ rather than a Pro but I would hope that everything
would be the same for both.  The vvesa.com driver reports that it has the
required functionality for switching when queried by Borland's vesatest.exe
but I can't seem to get it to work together with the tdvesa.dll.  It just
hangs.  In the meantime though, you can use the svga.dll that Borland
distributes (it's on Compu$erve somewhere).  It is compatible with just about
everything but in 1024x768x64K it is bloody slow on the ATI.

I would hope that we can either get a new driver from Borland, or ATI will fix
their Vesa driver.
