Getting SVGA cards into VGA compatibility mode is, unfortunately,
card-specific. This is normally done automatically by the card's
BIOS. However, MILO does not have an x86 emulator (yet?), so it has
to know about each and every card that it supports.
Have you tried using the SRM instead? (ftp.digital.com:/pub/DEC/axppci)
It eats away gobs of memory (2MB) but it ought to work until MILO knows
about more graphics cards.
