I don't think that either of these boards will hold enough VRAM to support
anything larger than 640x480. I also don't think that they support
switching resolutions. However, you can always try to do it under MacOS
(use the monitors control panel). If you can do it there, it should work
under NetBSD. NetBSD simply uses whatever MacOS monitor settings you
have. We don't currently support changing resolutions.

If it's not listed in the list of working video cards in the Info Sheet,
no one has reported it working yet (of course, that doesn't mean that it
doesn't work, just that no one has reported it yet).
Later.
