Most of the Compaq QVisions were Cirrus Logic - CL-GD5434 chipsets. I've set
up a couple, and use the SVGA server.
I also had to use the Tab and Shift-Tab keys to select PS/2 mouse,
/dev/psaux for port, and then down to Apply. Seems to work after that.

Well, I hesitate to say it's not there, but I installed it and it runs
fine. Note that I DON'T use LILO, didn't install LILO, and didn't do any
fiddling with my config files. I'm using a Compaq Presario 4840
(PII-266), so it's not much of a wait to boot to Win95 and run the
Linux95 program :-)...

A simpler way may be to use linload95 - it's a package I downloaded that
