I have just upgraded from a mystique and voodoo1 to a g400. I'm running xfree
3.3.3, for the mystique I had to d/l the 3.3.4 XF86_SVGA server and for the
g400 I had to d/l the 3.3.5 SVGA server. I haven't upgraded X itself yet
(waiting for 4.0) just the server. Things work fine with the new server , shame
about loosing the accel'd 3d though.
