Firstly I have had some success using it on a Intel740 chipset card. It
seems to work fine in 8 bit colour depths; at 15 it doesn't display the
penguin at bootup and at 16 it is the wrong colours. I can also run X on
it; however only at 8 bit colour depth as the colours are wrong at 16. No
luck in running at 24 bit; the boot screen just stays blank.
Are there any tools for detecting extra VESA modes (or does anyone know
of any i740 docs that will tell me) so I can run at 32bit colour.
The link to the precompiled libc5 X server didn't seem to work so I have
uploaded the one I built (should work at 8,16 and 32 bit colour depths) to

or

depending upon your choice of compression :)

PS: Please don't comment on my spelling of colour
