I did some simple testing on UniVBE with linear frame buffers and CWSDPMI
and it worked fine.  I didn't test any page-flipping code, or many
different video cards.  I have found some video BIOSes are poorly written
and use a humongous amount of stack space (over 100 words) when switching
modes, etc.  If a video BIOS (or UniVBE) takes more than 128 words it
might cause some problems in CWSDPMI.  I would be interested in knowing
if other people have this problem, and if so, what cards they are trying
to use (and how - what modes, etc).  I can provide a test CWSDPMI to 
test this theory.
