  21. Regarding the ET4000 video cards, Xenix doesn't seem to have any support
  22. for anything better than 640x480x16.  I was told by some people, however,
  23. that this should still be possible by using assembly instead of the 
  24. regular library functions.  If anyone has done this I would like to hear
  25. from you ... I just need a function that puts the ET4000 (Speedstar) in
  26. 1024x768x256.
