I have a Pentium Pro here with a Matrox Millenium card. And as X-server
I have the commercial Accelerated-X server. It works realy good. =

The X-server was realy easy (a kid could almost do it if you compare to the=

XFree86 version) to install. And to get a realy good resolution was no prob=
lem.
Right now I'm running 1600*1200 with 65k colors with 72Hz refresh rate (thi=
s on
a 21" EIZO FlexScan F784-T monitor)
Like Michael I also order it directly from the states. =

And when I order the X-server I also order MWM and MWM-development pack. So=
 that
I can program OpenGL and other fun stuff that this card supports.

Sorry that I couldn't CC to Sonia couldn't find the original message.
