I've an EIZO (=NANAO) MDB10 video-card wih 512kB RAM, which has an 
et3000-chipset. Switching to V2 I recognised that there's no 
graphics-driver availiable for et3000 and standard-vga disables 
graphic-modes 640x480x256 and up.

Questions:
1) Has anyone done a ET3000-driver for GRX20? If yes, please let me know!

2) If not, who's interested in such a driver and would make the work of   
carefully testing such one at his/her computer? 

Remark: I've done a et3000-driver which seems to work at least with the 
tests supplied. I know however, it's not a clean solution and won't work 
with graphic-modes using more than 512kB RAM, maybe it won't work with 
graphic-cards with 1024kB (maximum for et3000) at all. The problem is 
that GRX20's paging is built for 64k-pages, but the clean solution for 
et3000-hires-modes would need 128k-pages.

Thanks for any response,
  Roland
