Currently the driver only supports 'Generic PCI' cards on x86; that's the only hardware (Graphics Blaster Exxtreme) I have access to. It is also unaccelerated. I've been using it for a week in conjunction with the XFree Glint driver (via UseFBDev) and it seems to work but has received only the most cursory testing. All reviews/advice/bug reports/etc. welcome. -- Jim Hague - jim.hague@acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
