I wouldn't recommend the built-in VESA driver, because it is
an old version, and has a bad reputation of not working on
many VESA-compatible cards.  Instead, get the file grx103m1.zip
and use the VESADRV.VDR included there.

Why was the original poster woried about PCI-based cards?
Are they any different (register-wise) from their ISA/VLB
counterparts with the same chipsets?
