hmm, he is a response from my os/2 support question to trident.

As of now the 9680 video chip has OS/Warp 4.0 support.  The 
drivers are in the Warp CD.  As for future support, I can 
not tell.  

My opinion:

IBM does not seem to be enthusiastic about their operating 
system.  IBM has very poor quality support.  They probably 
don't even test their own computers on their operating 
system.  Their Aptiva and their Thinkpad uses our video 
chips.  Instead of support their customers, they keep 
directing them to us.  If they are serious about their own 
operating system, they would have support for all their line 
of computers.
