I had the same sort of problem except that I can only run Ventura in
Real Mode (no Standard or Enhanced).  When I phoned Ventura we went
through this discussion and the Ventura rep told me that since I was
using a non-standard video driver (i.e. ATI VGA Wonder w/512K) and the
drivers that I got directly from ATI's BBS that I had to go to ATI and
demand an updated driver because the driver was not providing the
correct signals to Ventura.  By non-standard, the Ventura rep meant
anything not supplied by MicroSoft.  When I switched to regular VGA
mode then Ventura ran in all three modes no problem.
