We support a number of SVGA video cards that use all manner of Tseng
video chips.  I suspect you are talking about the Tseng 4000, if you are
then we support the following video cards that use this chip;

Genoa SuperVGA 7000 series
Orchid ProDesigner II (Version 3.x, 4.x, 5.x)
Orchid ProDesigner IIs
Orchid ProDesigner/e
Sigma Legend
STB EM16+

If your card is, or is compatable with, any of the above then you are
in business.

You need at least ODT 1.1 with Update G and the X11R4 EFS installed.  If
you have ODT 2.0 then this support comes out of the box.

No relation to the Rosser's from Wangaratta?

Xenix 2.3.4 runs fine with my ET-4000 with 1MB. I have run SCO X Windows for Xenix
on it.  (Got a grafinfo file for the Orchid Prodesigner-II to make it work.)  I
also run mgr.  Oh, the X I ran in 800x600 mode.  16 colors, of course.

Running 800x600 16 colors will work on any VGA card I've ever
tried.  The trick is to get them to run in the higher resolutions.

I've never had any luck with cards running the ET-4000 chipset
unless it's specifically defined in the grafinfo database.  I
spent at least a half-day with one card trying all combinations
of every grafinfo file with the ET-4000.  Many times it required
doing an ALT-F1 and logging in and shutting down on a very
scrambled screen when the definition was way off :-).

My solution is to buy a card that I know works, and save myself a
lot of grief (now if I could only justify an ATI ultra...:-).
