I use Windows XP on std-vga. I tried hacking vgabios to report higher
resolutions and memory, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
Windows lists 32bpp even if memory is insufficient for that.
So where is the catch? Would it be possible to make std vga support
large resolutions without too much effort?
