    Everex has a new board called UltraGraphics coming out (Model EV-235).
    I don't know whether this board will fit your need or not; but the
    followings are what Everex advertised:

    Big Screen ASIC
	View the "Big Picture" on a 150 dpi large screen monitor in
	1664x1200 resolution using PC/XT/AT and compatible machines.
	The Ultragraphics, with an onboard Everex ASIC, controls
	Princeton LM301 and the Moniterm 19 inch monitor, ideal for
	Desktop Publishing.
    
    Compatible With Others
	Ultragraphics co-exsits with PGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules
	graphics adapters for multiple screen display capability.  The
	board contains its own video BIOS, making it a stand-alone card
	and fully compatible at the BIOS level.
    
    Turbo Features
	The Everex Ultragraphics beats other adapters in speed by 4:1.
	Instead of a single byte transfer in others, the Ultragraphics
	transfers 4 bytes at a time to update screen changes at 4 times
	the normal rate in 1664x1200 resolution.  Additional features
	include a 12.5ms screen clear, or fill-with-ones for reverse
	video, and fast scrolling that won't keep you waiting.
    
    Bank Switched
	The display is enhanced by 512KB onboard memory.  The memory is
	bank switched through a 16KB window in reserved memory.  The
	window is intelligently placed by Ultragraphic's own BIOS so
	that it will not conflict with other address specific installed
	hardware drivers.
    
    WYSIWYG Clarity
	You can now achieve WYSIWYG clarity with 150 dpi monitors.
	Drivers for Microsoft Windows and AutoCAD are also included
	for extra convenience.

    Any one interested could email me and I'll find out more (e.g. price).
