I am running vpix 1.2.0 with no problems under ESIX Rev C.  I have a Dell 310
with 8 Megs and an ATI VGAWonder with 512K.  I would like to use the extended
modes of the ATI card but the 'fake' BIOS of vpix wont allow me to access them.
Can I get around the vpix bios to use the extended modes?  Ideas from the
net would be greatly appreciated.  I will summerize the answers here.

Also, is anyone using a bus mouse under the above conditions?  I would like
to here how you did it.  I have the ATI mouse driver by Jim Hoover with the
hooks for vpix that was posted to one of the sources groups recently.  Has
anyone successfully gotten that to work?  I want to here from you.  
Thanks
