There is a fix needed for the MiniDriver-1 in order for it to operate
correctly on OS/2 Warp.

The graphics engine (GRE) in OS/2 Warp defines a new enable subfunction,
subfunction 14 (decimal).  MiniDriver-1 should return -1, GPI_ALTERROR, from
OS2_PM_DRV_ENABLE() when the Warp GRE calls with subfunction 14, but in error,
the MiniDriver-1 returns the contents of an uninitialized, automatic variable
(ulrc) which is usually zero.

To correct the MiniDriver-1 code, add a "default" case to the switch statement
in OS2_PM_DRV_ENABLE function in ENABLE.C.  The default case will look
something like this...

       default:
         // unknown, unsupported enable subfunction
         ulrc = -1;
         break;

and should be inserted at line 696 in ENABLE.C from DEVCON Device Driver Kit
for OS/2 Version 1.0 - 1994.
