Get the latest (0.9), this one can be configured to use any resolution
on a Falcon.

It will not work on any graphics-cards, but even with a graphics-card
installed the vcons will still appear on the Videl. E.g. you can
connect one monitor to the Videl for consoles and one to the
graphics-card for GEM. Or use an automatic graphics-card/Videl
switcher, it will be useful for other things as well (booting, Apex,
games, demos...).
