I tried this with minor adjustments, but the results were
disappointing: the screen flashed briefly a narrow band, over the text
screen, then left the text screen unchanged. Mouse and keyboard were
still functional, but of course I could see only diagnostic messages.

I'm now as up to date, VGA-wise, as the Lucent server permits :-) but
without much joy. The board has only the S3 ViRGE/DX chip, EPROM and
2Meg of RAM on it, with sockets for an additional 2Meg. Has anyone
gotten such a thing to work?
The board operates nicely under XFree86 3.3.2.
Thanks, all.
