i'll put my terrible, awful, reprehensible, reprobate, disgusting nvidia
driver that sort-of works if you squint and set the mode incorrectly
up on sources (/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/vga).  you may need to
have a monitor fairly resistant to misset frequencies. i had to hack my
vgadb.  the commented-out line is correct for my montior.  clearly i
don't have the frequency calculations right at all.

213t=1600x1200				# 60 Hz
	clock=150
#	shb=1664 ehb=1856 ht=2160
	shb=1664 ehb=1856 ht=2058
	vrs=1201 vre=1204 vt=1250
	hsync=+ vsync=+

i really need to write a driver for integratede modern intel or ati
graphics.
