	Which video card has been proved with 1600x1200x8
	monitors?

The following PCI cards should be in the aux/vga you have, they all use the
IBM RGB524 RAMDAC
	STB Velocity 64 Video
	#9FX Motion 771
	Stealth 64 Video 3000
as is the VLB card
	#9GXE Level-16
Unfortunately, it's not likely any of these are made any more.

I recently did support for cards with the S3 ViRGE series chips. Anything with
a ViRGE/VX will do 1600x1200x8, such as the
	Diamond Stealth 3D 3000
	STB Velocity 3D
I have a Viewsonic P815 monitor which will do 1800x1440x8 and these cards should be
able to do that too, but there's some wraparound problem if you take them over 1600x1200
which I don't understand (unless the chips just don't allow it).

I suppose I could do a boddle for the current aux/vga, but I've no way to test
operation on Plan9 or many of the older cards at all.
