I'm running ISC 2.2 Unix w/ their X on an Everex 386/25 Step, using Everex's
VGA card, called a "Viewpoint NI".  I can run X in 640x480 mode just fine, but
I'd like to use it in 1024x768 mode, but ISC doesn't have the Everex card
in their list of cards supported at higher resolution.  Any suggestions on if
a driver is available for this card, or if it's just a relable of another
companies card?  How do you create a driver?  Is it possible for your average
hacker?

Inquiring minds (like me!) want to know!
