Hello Thomas, I have installed your X server on my thinkpad 385. I still
cannot use the External/Internal switching feature (I called custumer support
a lot of times).
Also, I have a question for you: Does your server support the presence of
a color index visual and 16 bit visual at the same time like in SGI and
Metro-X.
i.e, I would like to be able to display 256 color images and 16 bit color
images
without having to restart the server all the time.

thanks,
