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.
