Help !
I've got a clone VGA card named "Fortune 35". From the flimsy documentation
I've got, it is capable of displaying 640x480 256 colour. But I just don't 
know how to set that mode up. I wonder if anybody can tell me how to do it
I have tried almost everything possible but the best that I have got is a
640x400 resolution, however, the second half of the screen is just displaying
the same value in the upper half (with a shift).
I would be very grateful if anyone can help me out of this.

The card has got two chips from CIRRUS LOGIC. I don't know this infomation
is useful or not.
