I've had a somewhat similar problem with my VGA card.  I've got an Oak SVGA
card with 256Kb VRAM (up to 800x600x16) and a Tatung 1496 monitor (up to
1024x768 interlaced).  The combination absolutely refuses to go into 132x43
or 132x25 text modes without invoking the graphics mode in DOS.  I also
can't get these modes in Lotus 123 v2.01, which the manual swears up and down
should work.  Again, any comments/drivers will be greatly appreciated.
