on a related note, many SVGA cards that are not VESA compliant have TSR's that
can be loaded to make them VESA compliant. I know the Viper PCI is this way
and i'm pretty sure i've seen this elsewhere. anyone who's having this problem
might check w/ their vendor [or their manual?] to see if such a beast is
available...
