One funny (?) remark. Within IBM there are tons of 8514-cards, so IBMers were asking for seemless 8514 drivers internally. Only, after it became clear that there are tons of 8514-compatible-cards outside IBM did they realize that it was necessary to write a seemless driver. Explanation: The 8514 was the forerunner of the XGA, simply put 8514 was an intermediate step. The XGA being out on the market for quite a while and seeing others going mainly the Tseng-route, they thought 8514 was not that important. Just for info... ---rony
