is there a workaround ? how the desktop switch resolution ?

Yes, BUT the GFA editor doesn't use the AES. Again, there is no problem in switching resolution. The problem is the AES.
Gunstick wrote:Hi, I'm digging this up again. So there is nothing documented how GEM/TOS switches resolution when you click in the desktop dialog box to go from low to medium? It just jumps somewhere to restart AES. Now that's odd. 12 years later now: is there still nothing new on this? Do I need to find the jump address for every TOS version out there and hardcode all that?
For my simple demo program, I would like to write a PRG which I can run from GEM, which does the same than clicking in the resolution switch dialog.
