Why should Zortech know anything about programming your vga card?
640x480x256 is a non-standard vga mode.  You'd be much better off
calling the board manufacturer or posting a request for code to
comp.sys.ibm.pc.  Your complaints about Zortech's support may be
justified but most of your problems would have been solved by
reading the manual.  Pour yourself a homebrew, find a fireplace,
curl up any read the manual.  Most of all, relax.  We'll all be
happier.
