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. -- = Regards Eje Gustafsson SystemAdministrator, The Aeronautical Research Institute Of Sweden mailto:gne@ffa.se http://www.ffa.se
