The wd 90C24 chip is found in several laptop computers.  Mine also 
identified as Chips and Technologies.  Compushow will work with it as 
'Paradise'.  I could not even get 4-bit color, just 4-color, with Xvesa. 
My laptop screen only goes to 640 res and has 1MB RAM.  I got 1152 but not 
1280 virtual screen.

Can you reconstruct the XF86Config from my previous postings on this 
subject (work backwards) or should I post at my website?  (I was going to 
do so but the floppy disk got stuck in the laptop).

If my config file does not work for you, you could, as David did for me, 
search on the web for other people's working XF86Config files for your 
chip.
