I am of the opinion that it shouldn't be that now. An ati rage pro should
give great peformance under vesa 2.0, although I don't know how compliant it
is. My new card (that I replaced the s3 with) is a jaton AGP card with 4
megs sgram and a trident 3dimage chipset, and it works great also. In fact
it blows the s3 all to h#ll. I could barely play unreal in like300x400 or
so mode (not remembering the numbers, but small) and this Jaton card will
run at 800x600 no problem, and playably with 32 bit color textures.

It was quite vesa compatible, it just didn't perform that well. It was
barely adequate pefrmance wise (having seen the comparison now) in win95.
Of course I have recently installed direct x 6 core also, and am running
direct x 5 before that. I think that these things allow various graphics
modes to be accessed by dos apps.
