machfb0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0: ATI Technologies 3D Rage I/II (rev. 0x9a)
machfb0: 16 MB aperture at 0xe1000000, 4 KB registers at 0x00000000
memctl: 003210b3
machfb0: 2048 KB SGRAM 62.999 MHz, maximum RAMDAC clock 170 MHz
machfb0: initial resolution 1152x900 at 8 bpp
wsdisplay0 at machfb0 kbdmux 1: console (default, sun emulation)
wsmux1: connecting to wsdisplay0
wsdisplay0: screen 1-3 added (default, sun emulation)

What is an acceptable resolution to use with this card on a regular PC
monitor? I tried 1024x768 at 8 bits, and it still defaults to 640x480.

Are there any PCI video cards that work with Ultra 5/10?
