That's clearly a driver mismatch.

That's a silly question. You are choosing to use an OS owned by IBM when
it is clear that IBM is only willing to do the minimum required to support
the OS for that portion of the user base that it considers important.

This does not mean you should not use Warp if it serves your needs, but
don't expect it to be the equivalent to a WinXX preload.

Regards,

Steven
