To be more specific, for regular console usage (non-X),

1. the 8 and 16 bit Paradise PVGA1A boards are supported,
2. the Video-7 16 bit board is supported,
3. the Sigma Legend and STB Powergraph ET-4000 boards are supported,
4. the 90c11 in the builtin configuration on our products is supported.
   This should be close enough to any add-on 90c11 product for it to
   work in text mode, but I haven't actually seen it yet.

For X, the list is currently narrower, with the exception that the GPX
is supported.

Quick correction: the global minimum, I believe, is 8meg.
