I don't have much info about the other driver.  And of course, I've
lost the docs for the add-on card, too.  I'd look at the mfr's web
site, but there's not much writing on the card, so I don't know *what*
mfr.  (It's amazing how worthless a card can become without docs.)
What I do have is the XF86Config file that works with this add-on
card.  I attach it below, and perhaps it reveals something.

I note that in the "Graphics device" sections, the VideoRam lines are
commented out (I don't know why, and don't remember doing it), but it
is my vague recollection that the on-board interface had 1/4 MB and
the add-on had 32MB.

Again, I greatly appreciate the presence of experts in this field.
Thank you.
