If this is an old question refer me to the proper sources,
   I'm looking for a graphics mode on the IBM that has the following:
   1) 640 x 480 x 4 bit or ( better yet ) 640 x 480 x 8 bit
   2) More importantly, supports double buffering. (at least)

   Currently, I'm using 640 x 350 x 16 (EGA), but the distortion due to the messed up
aspect ratio is no good.  Does SVGA( either ET-4000, VESA or ATI VGAwonder ) support such 
a mode?
