It's best these days to run ET6000 cards under the SVGA server. Development
on the W32 server has all but halted, with all efforts going towards
accelerating performance in SVGA.

(Not really true anymore, actually - efforts are now going towards the
loader technology donated by MetroX. It's kinda neat, actually. The next
release should _really_ fly..)

Stuart, speaking for himself only. I'm not affiliated with XFree, apart
from being one of their beta testers.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  -- RFC1925.
