Orchid had released SVGA drivers (up to 1024x768x256) for the ProDesigner
II, and STB has released SVGA drivers for the Powergraph (only 16 colors for
now).  Both of these are based on the Tseng ET4000 chipset, and should work
on clone boards as well.  Tseng is in the process of developing their own
drivers, but they're a little short on manpower, I think.
