I recently had to update my video card for other reasons but I purchased a diamond stealth III s540.
Although not directly supported by diamond an OS/2 driver is avalible at
http://s3.nextmill.com/savage4_drivers.asp. This supports resolution upto 1280x1024x65536 or
1040x768x15777216. The file you need is 2os61011.zip
