This is similar to the one I posted few posts before:

16 Color Driver,           16_1024.DRV, 3, 1, N
256 Color Driver,         256_1024.DRV, 3, 1, N

Not sure if it's completely the same version, but they unfortunately didn't work.

The guys from VCFED forum had similar problems and they used the drivers from VOGONS archive:

I haven't yet read the whole topic but they also suspect there is a problem with LCD controller firmware as it has problem with VGA 60Hz modes.

The topic is the same as one I already linked before in one of my responses.
