The problem is this code in src/setup/setmode.c:

          (*vmd.extinfo->setup)(&vmd,noclear)) {

We can set the frame pointer in the setup routine, but buildcontext uses it in advance, I can change the code to:

       if((*vmd.extinfo->setup)(&vmd,noclear)) &&
          (t || buildframedriver(&vmd,&fdr)) &&
          (t || buildcontext(&vmd,&fdr,&cxt))){

but I don't know if we break any other driver with it.

Hartmut if you can, your opinion will be unvaluable here.

You should try

if((t || buildframedriver(&vmd,&fdr)) && (*vmd.extinfo->setup)(&vmd,noclear) && (t || buildcontext(&vmd,&fdr,&cxt)) )

instead. builddriver should stay before setup() since it doesnŽt use the frame address.

Note, this code is nearly unchanged since Csaba wrote it and I never really got through all details.
