In particular, I'm using an 82945G-based terminal with the VESA driver. It works well, but is not optimal (my monitor supports an 8:5 aspect ratio, incompatible with the offered VESA modes). I'm slowly putting together a native driver (really, updating the i810 driver) for it, but I haven't touched it in a couple of weeks now. I do not believe that the i960 is uses the GMA950, however; I think it uses a successor but they are probably largely compatible. - Dan C.
