I'm glad it works for you.  Mine's an 840av, so the hardware's pretty
much the same and there shouldn't be any surprise factor, though.

Hmm, midnightblue looks on my screen more like a very dark blue to me.
You and I may be using different gamma correction.  It's funny I
received similar complaints when I made my first color server
available...  Or is it just me who sets the monitor much darker than
other people?

Sorry, can't help here.  I suppose you could piggy-back extra VRAM
chips on top of existing ones, except a pin or two (probably CS, and
maybe RAS and/or CAS) that have to be wired directly from some unused
signal(s) of the CIVIC chip, but which CIVIC pin, I have absolutely no
idea.
