I have that exact configuration.  386/ix 2.0.2 running X11R3 (v1.1 ?)
and have a VRAM with 512k and a NEC 2A monitor all running in 
800x600x16 mode... works just fine... and although I can't swear about the
performance of the VRAM, I did configure it to run in 16 bit ram mode and 
thing seem fine.. 

and as long as we're on the subject... What does 386/ix do when it comes 
up and it see's that I have my video rom and bios ram shadowed.???  things
work fine..  but does it scarf back the memory or leave it alone.??
this is on a 25 Mhz 386 with AMI bios and C&T Neat set.
