i've got the Stealth 64 Video VRAM card. i can load the s3 drivers
and start windows. but the screen is garbled. i get all kinds
of garbage (vertical lines, ghost images, window trails, etc).
like your it works okay only in generic (s)vga.

i called diamond tech support and they said it must be the
video memory. but that doesn't explain why it works just
fine (1024x768, 65k colours, 100hz refresh) with NT 3.51.
