Would it be possible to run XFree86 on 386bsd
using an old 256K RAM VGA 16 card ?

I have an OAK Technology's VGA 16 card with 256K RAM,
and lib/X11/etc/*DB.txt doesn't have any entry with 256K
(the minimum was 512K).  Does this mean that with 256K
it is not possible to run XFree86 ?

Thanks, in advance.
