The Video Seven 1024i is supported in the 1.2 release, which they tell
me will be out "real soon now".  (I know I've said it would be out earlier,
but there were apparently delays in production.  Sorry.)  The ATI card
turns out to be three cards.  ATI calls them all VGA Wonder's, but each
is a little different.  The 1.2 release should work on all three cards
in 800x600.
