IIRC, it uses the Cirrus Logic chip for text mode only. If I'm not mistaken, 
the 3D20 is a TGA card (look for a digital 21x30 chip on there), so you want 
the TGA server.

This implies that I remember right. It would have said Cirrus Logic unknown 
chipset had it been CL-based.

No, the Cirrus Logic code isn't compilable on a 64-bit machine.
