AosSetup.Text discusses "... VESA 2.0 VBE mode ..."

I have an ASUS SP97-V board.  With Internet Explorer 
and possibly other "browsers", the pdf manual can be 
found at http://www.asus.com/ and at http://www.asus.com.tw/.

On page 71 I see mode 37, type APA, 1024x768, 16 colors ... .
On page 72 is mode 37i, 1024x768, 16 colors 87 frames/s ... 
and 37n, 1024x768, 16 colors 60 frames/s ... .
Footnotes explain that APA is All Points Addressable 
(Graphics), i is interlaced and n is non-interlaced.
About 90 modes are listed.

Can any of the modes *be used with Aos?
Should I forget it and install a PCI video card?

Thanks,          Peter E.
