  18. The maker of the AVGA card chipset is Cirrus Logic.  They have an 
  19. AVGA driver for OS/2, but it only runs with certain cards.
  20. United Solutions, whose AVGA card I have, was writing their own
  21. last I checked.  Don't hold your breath, though.  They originally
  22. promised a driver in June (from Cirrus), and were still working
  23. on their own last month.
