You will not be able to use anything but the supported adapters because the drivers will not be available for any other cards.
They must also be genuine IBM cards or the driver will not configure it because it will do a vpd lookup on the card and if the vpd is not from IBM the driver will not configure it.
For instance some of the gxt cards are made by matrox and then ibm re-write the vpd. if you stick the original (pc) matrox card in, same card hardware but without the modified ibm vpd, the driver will fail to load.
If you don't have a graphics card you can still install X11 and export the display to another system with a graphics card, then display the CDE on your graphics console from the other machine.

Description
These subroutines generate graphic output in a device-independent manner. See for a description of their effect. The subroutine precedes
the other subroutines as it opens the device for writing. The subroutine flushes the output. The and routines are used by the lvp16 and
hp7475a plotters only.
String arguments to and are null-terminated and do not contain newlines.
Many of these functions have additional options for different output devices. They are accessed by the options as follows:
-lplot device-independent graphics stream on standard output for filters
-lplotaed AED 512 color graphics terminal
-lplotbg BBN bitgraph graphics terminal
-lplotdumb dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers
-lplotgigi gigi graphics terminal
-lplotgrn grn files
-lplot2648 HP 2648 graphics terminal
-lplot7221 HP 7221 graphics terminal
-lplotimagen Imagen laser printer (default 240 DPI resolution)
-l300 GSI 300 terminal
-l300s GSI 300S terminal
-l450 DASI 450 terminal
-l4013 Tektronix 4013 terminal
