Probably about as fast as a 486DX266.

Maybe that is the problem.  I don't think you can use two frame buffers in these
cards at one time.  I tried the same thing using a LX.  Using the built-in frame
buffer and an additional sbus version.  I could never get video out of the installed
framebuffer when I had the additional one installed.  However, I don't claim to be
an expert.  Maybe you could get that kind of setup working.  I never could.
