Subject: avance logic 2302 video card

I'm having a problem with new video card.  Well not new, but it's new to
me.  I rebuilt my system the other day and am now using a 1 meg Avance
Logic 2302 card, instead of the built-in Acer video of unkonwn video
memory that I was using before.  This is a dual boot win95/freebsd 2.2.6
machine.

In windows I'm getting 16 bit color and 800x600 resolution.  In X11 I
can't go more than 8bpp and 640x480 (that includes not being able to get
either 16 bpp 640x480 OR 8bpp 800x600).  Ideally it would be 16bpp 800x600
like I was getting when it was in the Acer.  If the card just couldn't do
it, I would understand.  But obviously it can.  My friend said that
apparently the freebsd video driver wasn't up to running the card.  I
thought AL was a relatively big name, but he says he'd never heard of
them.  So what can/should I do about this?
