I only use VBE 2.0 with UniVBE, I don't use DOS too much. Under
Linux/XFree86, the card can be made to use a "linear framebuffer." Is this
the same functionality as VBE 2.0? the X docs claims that LFB's don't give
much of a speed improvement, at least on my card (CL5428) (which I realize
is something of a lamer..)
