I have tested both drivers with a STB PowerGraph VGA with 1MB and both
work fine, no problems at all. The screen postions were a bit funny but
no problem to adjust them on a Nanao 9080i display. The 1024x768 driver
works only NON-interlaced, so be careful, NEC 3D owners (or similar).

The 1024x768 driver can easily be patched to use the small icons at
location 0x2DE02 from "40 00 40 00" to "20 00 20 00" with some binary
file editor.
