What video devices are people using?

Hi All,

I'm now heavily into the coding on the bitblt graphics server and I need to
make a decision about where to put my next major amount of effort. As it
stands the hardware specific code is running on generic VGAs, Cirrus 542X
and Cirrus 6440 (LCD only). I'll be adding support for many other SVGAs in
the coming weeks and also coding an S3 variant. It would be a good time to
put other hooks in there while I'm at the current stage of development, so
could anyone mail me if they're running anything other than the following
(eg EGA or Hercules, etc):

        Generic VGA
        Cirrus 542X
        Cirrus 543X
        Cirrus 6440
        Trident TVGA8900B, C, CL and D
        Paradise/Western Digital PVGA1A, WD90CXX
        ATI Wonder, XL
        Tseng ET4000

Similarly, if anyone really wants to see mono support at first release
please say so now as I'm currently only handling 4, 8, 15, 16 and 24 bits
per pixel in hardware (Gavin's higher level library code may do 1bpp
software ops though).

                Regards,
                Dave
