Ah, I see. I didn't have faith; I was expecting to get a big list of all
possible VESA modes. 318 worked okay, but drawterm is less than
pretty--scrolling down a rc window makes a red mess... hard to
describe. Anyway, I'll try to find out what the proper VESA mode is
for my card.
If I want drivers for my 3c595 ethernet card, looks like I'll have
to compile stuff for myself?
Pretty cool setup. Thanks Ron!
John
