There is a utility called vugif, which, while it doesn't directly support
all the various extended modes, DOES have a 'user defined' mode.  You
must provide the screen mode number, resolution, and number of colors
available.  If you have this information about your board, it works quite
well.  I use it on an AT&T VDC600 (AT&T's VGA board, really a Paradise)
in 640x400 256 color mode, and 800x600 16 color mode, and it is DAZZLING.
