I had much the same result, but noticed the following.  I have an Orchid
Prodesigner II (1MB) running 1024x768x256, and cvw refused to recognize it
as a VGA.  I suppose if I went back to stock VGA operation it would, but
that costs a lot of pixels.  After installing the vcv driver, cvw runs single
screen, but F4 doesn't work, the cv display is only 25 lines, and even though
F4 doesn't work, each time I do a STEP, the screen goes black for about 5-8 
seconds (as if it's switching) although the Windows screen is never
visible.

The single-screen debugging is something I've wanted for a long time, more
so since I got the VGA card (which slows down 2x due to the mono screen
forcing it to 8 bits).  Does anyone have info that would let the new
cvw recognize a super-vga as being a vga and enable the rest of the
nifty features?
