	Which SVGA are we talking about:

	I was under the impression VESA had already agreed up the under
256K extended EGA, that is 800x600x16, but that everything else was up in
the air.  The modes in question are:

	640x480x256 	(what most people call SVGA)
	800x600x256
and	1024x768x16	all of which require > 256K but < 512K.

	Which of these, if any, does VESA 2.0 address?
