I've tested it.

It seems to work stably in 8-bit modes, but any time I try to set
another depth the monitor goes into powersaving mode. After this it
doesn't respond to "shutdown -r now", Ctrl-Ald-Del or even
Magic SysRQ. Hard reboot works, though :(

Also, the palette seems to consist mostly of blacks in 8-bit
modes. Judging from the output from "demo" and "slimy", about three
fourths of the colors are black (including the text displaying what is
going to be done in "demo".

PS. How do I get it to use a normal latin1 font? As it is now, all
Swedish characters are wrong.
