Yes.  The Stealth is 100% VESA compatible.  Thus you don't need any drivers
at all for things such as Links 386 Pro, which require VESA cards for
enhanced displays.

For the person who was confused about the "VESA" name itself....VESA has
standards for MANY things.   The VESA local bus is only one of many different
standards bearing the VESA name.
