Thank you all for the answers.
I believe a Trident of 2 MB should solve my problem and be compatible with Windows 3.11 right?
I have easy access to one like this:

General speaking, yes, that Trident TGUI9440-3 looks fine to me.
There's a driver for it at http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/index.php?catid=37
In another video, it also gets good critiques: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0t4U4wWPwQ
The TGUI is a socalled Windows-Accelerator card, which means it could do things on its own.
So Windows 3.1 just needs to say to the graphics card "draw me a circle with a radius of so and so at position x, y",
instead of doing all the hard work on its own and copying a pre-rendered picture to the video memory.
If you're interested, we had a Windows 3.1 graphics card thread at Best PCI VGA card for Windows 3.11 performance?
Tips: If you enounter a jerky mouse movement in Win 3.1, try a serial mouse.
And don't throw the OTI 077 in the dust bin yet. You may need it in the future for another build.
By the use of a mode utility, vgamode.exe, it can emulate old graphics modes (CGA, EGA and Hercules).
List of other cards who can do this.
