The Cyber and Blade3D cards are fairly brain damaged video adaptors.
The best you are going to get is support as a VGA/SVGA device thru the SVGA
server. The configuration program will not correctly recognize the card,
because the card itself does not report it's capabilities.
You'll have to manually configure anything above 256 color mode.
I ended up throwing these adaptors away after finding a rather involved
discourse on their failings in a Linux related web page.

cover my card....but it doesn't.
