Subject: 2 Meg cards mapping of memory

I have a video card with 2 Meg of memory which can be mapped to a flat
range somewhere in the 32 bit address space.

I am curious on two points:

1. Can the standard vesa based driver map this memory for me to some
range visible by go32?

2. Can the virtual memory handling for the banked mode (64k banks) be
extended to support memories of larger than 1 Meg?

Since I am not totally clueless on the VGA I would be willing to work on
getting either or both of these to work with some help from the go32
developer. Unfortunately I don't have Borland C (just MS Visual C++).

thanks,
-Jim.
