Oh. I just remembered that fractint supports VESA. I looked in the code
and tried sommething that worked. It may or may not work on your
card. If you need a dvi previewer for your VESA compatible card
please try the alpha-test version on c.scs.uiuc.edu. It is called
dvivesaalpha.exe. It may not work. Please return reports to me 
if you try it. It works on my Video7 card.

This is simply a 600x800 version of dvivga.
