A Matrox-card is generally a safe guess, as would be a Permedia2 card,
like the Diamond FireGL 1000, IIRC.
Problem is that the BIOS of those video-cards is X86, and to initialize
the card, this BIOS needs to be called. Some cards are recognized, and
you PC164 bios knows how to initialize them. If the card is not
recognized, it can't be initialized.
Good luck,
