I have the gamma full pack but never installed it for this very reason.
All I needed was more strange bugs. Thus I have left WARP for windows
installed. I wish that I could find out what differences there are
between the gamma and GA releases.

I called IBM on this (mobiles group). They said that non-interlace for
the thinkpad at 1024x768 is a known bug. While they assured me that
a update will be released soon, I couldn't get a date out of them.

Someone said that fixpack number six has been released. This could be as
connect shipped. I plan to go looking for it today....
