Peter -
    If you could, it would be great to get a backtrace as to exactly
which midlevel (Gd*) routine is on the stack when the low-level
driver assertion blows...  Then we need to return if h <=0 in that
routine, rather than the screen driver routine.


The reason that it's a bad idea to remove the assert is that the
linear framebuffer code could access outside of the mapped
display region and then you'll crash anyway or worse.

Regards,

Greg
