We should make this a FAQ. ;-) No current public release of a SCO X server
supports every generic SVGA card based on the ET4000.  What you can do, and
what frequently works, is to use the grafinfo entries we supply for the
video cards we _do_ support that use this chip.  If you fgrep through
/usr/lib/grafinfo/*.xgi for ET4000 you will see a list of all the cards
we support that use this chip.

>Any hints on doing something like that ?

In X11R5 (which will be released as a TLS in the next few weeks) we have
added support for generic ET4000 cards.  Essentially if the card has a
working BIOS then the X server should run with that card.
