I have a Compaq 386/33 MHz machine with something called a Compaq Video
Graphics Monitor, which is definitely some kind of VGA.  The main 
application program that I run calls for me to specify whether my display
is an "IBM VGA mode 12 color display" or an "IBM VGA mode 13 color display".
Is my Compaq display equivalent to either of these IBM types ?  By the way,
I have asked Compaq but they can't (or won't) say.  Please e-mail replies
to me if possible.  Thanks.
