I've got some man pages in front of me that say the VRAM V7256 (note, not the V7256A model) is supported in 256 colors at 800x600 pixels for ISC 2.2 running the (just released) version 1.2 of X-windows clients. In 16-color mode, V2.2 and X-windows clients version 1.1 support both the V7256 and the V7256A at 800x600. The man pages (and the person at ISC that I have been talking to on another matter) describe only X-windows screen resolutions, and don't really describe other graphic software, so you might be on your own with anything else.
