Yeah ... I already discovered this feature but it seems not to work.
Whatever mode I choose the page always comes back with 'VGA 640x480
256KB 16 colors.
Maybe their is some trouble with the machine although Windoze gives me
256 colors... I would like HiColor 640x480 (800x600)

Arachne detected video adapter TRIDENT

Indeed I detected a Trident videocard with TVGA8900C chip inside the
machine.
