I don't believe that X-Free crew have worked on accelerated drivers
for the w32/w32i series of Tseng chips yet.  At the moment, I believe
that you will only get the ET4000 drivers to work.  Do you own 
the card (I mean, is it available over here in Australia?)

: Can anyone tell me if XFree86 supports this card?
: Is there anyone out there that is using one of these under Linux?
