I think you're selling the VLB hardware a bit short there - I ran windows 3.11 at 1024x768 w 32k colours happily on my 1meg ET4000 W32P card, and they and several others (Cirrus Logic, S3 etc) were readily available with more RAM. I used it later with X, too, including 2D acceleration - though I guess newer releases might not support those old chipsets.
