I'll give it a try. Not sure about S3/VESA, but I did see some
S3 VESA VBE (Video BIOS Extension) with a google search, which
I guess means it does have support. I guess you need drivers
for whatever OS you're running.

Hmmm, I wonder if Linux has VESA support? It is true I would 
not like to have an OS between colorforth and the hardware, but
at least I can play with it a bit...

Thanks for the suggestion.
