I tried the 800*600*16, 640*480*256, and I believe one other... I didnt'
try the 1024*768 tho.  OS/2 did come up... but a lot of colors were wrong,
stuff like no title bar text, and I couldn't fix it with the control panel.
There seems to be a difference in the way repainting/invalidation is done,
so things wouldn't redraw properly.  Scroll bars wouldn't redraw at all.
I then called Headland... the driver/software droid shuffled me to tech
support claiming that 1.2 drivers work.  Tech support says they don't 
because of widespread reports of problems.  He said that he didn't
know a date in which 1.3 drivers would be available... not even a clue.
:-(   One of the reasons I went with this board was driver support.
(They had the first Windows drivers, and one of them was bundled with
Windows)   Do any other SVGA board makers have 1.3 drivers???
