 Me to. Povlab works fine( but very slowly) on  the ATI  Mach 64  in my old
486 DX66. But will not work on my new Pentium II 350 with integrated SiS
6326 AGPx2 with 8  Megs VRAM and 3D Accelerator support. Scitech UniVBE
drivers don't help, nor do the freeware drivers provided with the Allegro
game programming library (which I am using in the development of my blob
modelling utility, Blobmaster( see seperate post)). From what I can see on
the screen, the author of POVlab has no idea  about how to handle bank
switching in VESA 1.2 or VESA 2.0 ( or the library he is using is lacking in
these capabilities). The gospel is that if it don't work with UniVBE then it
don't work t'all. I'm not so sure about this but. then again, I have never
had a problem with UniVBE other than with POVlab. So apparently POVLab's
author has some work to do. (Too bad he's called it quits on
development,eh?).
