I have some ATI VGA Wonder drivers that will display 256 colors at 800x600
and 1024x768.  I don't know if these would work with your card though.  
However, I have a friedn who has a friend who is a Beta tester for OS/2 and 
he said that the new version has some really fast video drivers for most VGA
cards and ATI is a major card, so the next version will have the drivers
that you want.
