As far as I remember that's a dumb framebuffer also known as ( or closely related to ) PVGA1A and maxed out at 640x400x8 ( with a 256kB board, I had one like that ages ago ) - no acceleration, 8 or 16bit ISA interface, slowish. Should be fully VGA compatible though, so 640x480 in 16 colours should be possible with the generic driver. have fun Michael
