If it were that simple...
It's a good idea for you to try that driver (I mentioned it to you before
didn't I?), with 4.1.0 there is even a small chance for it to work, keeping
the discussion about the r128 driver and vgaHW in mind. But even if it
basically works, it most probably has the usual endianness and whatnot issues.
