Any flavor of unix that supports xenix binary compatibility has the
required ioctl calls also to put whatever graphics card your are using
into hires mode.  So, you can be reasonably sure of the graphics features 
working on the console at least.  I imagine they would support X for terminals, 
but have heard *nothing* on that.
