According to the cirrus readme file the svga driver only supports 24bpp 
on the 5434 chipset, also according to the cirrus web page the 5434 
chipset supports pci and vlb.

Since posting this I have found out that one of the Orchid graphics 
boards uses the 5434 chipset.

Thanks for the info on the 5429 anyway :-)
