They work for me. I just installed a fresh WFGW3.11 and installed the
drivers from site. 1024x768x256, 1280x1Kx256 works fine too.
Are you sure you installed them correctly? You can run Windows Setup
from Main and select the the A: drive, assuming you put them on a VFD.

Sure they do. You install the drivers from my site, then pick the S3
Trio64V 1.70.04 from the display list.
copy the files to a real flopyy or VFD, or copy to Windows via the
network, etc. Then...
<...snipped from my TechRef for VPC 5.2...>
a. Change to the Windows directory and run setup.exe.
b. Select Display, and press Enter.
c. Scroll to the bottom of the list, select Other, and press Enter.
d. Enter the drive letter and path specified above (example: c:\video)
e. Select a resolution from the list and press Enter.
f. Press Enter again

The ones for DOS do, you'll need to manually install them though from
DOS, not Win3.x, they won't automatically install like other OSes. YOu
will either need to get CD drivers working for DOS or copy the DOS VMA
to a floppy or VFD to get them in.

Get the .vfd for 'DOS VM additions'.

When you mount it, it does not autostart. At C prompt enter a:\dosadd
