Visualize-EG is a 8bit only card.

It can displake 'fake hi/true-colour' using HP's Color Recovery technology,
but hardly any non-HP software supports that (ie. I know only
of ImageMagick).

There is AFAIK no 24/32bit true colour PCI graphic cards that work on
Linux/PA-RISC in the moment. I'd love to hear that I'm wrong ...
