What type of RAMDAC and clock generator is on the board, who is the board
manufacturer and what is the model number? Many board manufacturers use the
BIOS supplied by Tseng and hence have the same id string at the location
you give, either the board is being incorrectly recognised (look in the
BIOS further on at around C000:0180) or there's a problem with only having
1Mb.

Everything I'm using at the moment is as shipped on the CD-ROM. I'll try
the latest fixes ASAP.
