If you have a VESA-compliant driver for this card, and if the card is
capable of higher resolution (with 256 colors, however), then you can
select the VESA device and run the display at a higher resolution.
Ghostscript can handle 1024x768 and 1280x1024.  With a 1 Mb memory,
you should be able to get 1024x768.

You will need a version of Ghostscript that includes the vesa driver.
