I got requests from people who want to know how to make AT&T Unix (for the 386) believe that a Paradise VGA+16 is an AT&T VDC600. The patch I applied to get AT&T Unix 3.2 version 2.1 recognize the real Paradise card as a VDC600 will probably also make it think that any VGA card is a VDC600, but it will probably not make high resolution modes work with other cards. I never tested it with a non-Paradise card. So BEWARE!!!! In the file /etc/conf/pack.d/kd/Driver.o there are 2 bytes that need to be changed: byte 12623 is a "t", but should become a "u". byte 12631 is a "^D", but should become a "^B". (One can, with a bit of trouble, find out what this really does by disassembling Driver.o...) I don't have a binary patch program, but GNU-emacs works just fine for this kind of patchwork... Enjoy!
