Of course the first thing to try is just a vanilla VGA server. Does
that work? If not the only exception to the "Every card does VGA" rule
that I can think of are the old Hercules cards, or even older CGA
cards, but I can't imagine an "as shipped" PS/2 using one of
these. The more advanced PS/2's used 8514 cards so you can try
that. Then later PS/2's used XGA cards. I have no idea if X servers
exist for 8514 or XGA, but both of these were backward compatible with
VGA.
