This keeps getting mentioned, but I'm not sure all the pieces are in place. Yes, VESA 2.0 is "32-bit". Does that actually mean it's usable from within Linux? More importantly, do _any_ cards have VESA 2.0 information built into the ROM? I hope I don't need to point out that a DOS VESA TSR (32-bit or not) is quite useless to Linux.
