[Oberon] video configuration for a Toshiba 205CDS.

Folk,

Native Oberon is installed on a Toshiba 205CDS laptop.
The video chip is a CT65550 which supports VESA 2.0.
The machine lacks a floppy drive; video must be 
configured with config strings rather than with Config 
in Oberon0.

The last two sections of "http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/display.html" 
seem pertinent but I miss a few details.  

Should these strings be set?
Display="Displays."
DDriver="SVGA"
Or just this one?
Display="SVGA"
[Documentation for DDriver along with Display 
would be helpful.]

The example in the Web page refers to an IBM 760ED
with this Init string.
Init=bb0501b8024fcd10
Strings for other chips are noted at the end of SVGA.Display.Mod.
How can the Init string for the CT65550 be constructed?

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
