[comp.unix.i386] Interactive X Windows 1.2 has no Fastwrite 256 colors?!

   Those of you like who have a Video 7 Fastwrite VGA graphics card
are in for a disappointment when you upgrade to v1.2 of Interactive's
X11r3.  The Xv256 server will not support modes 66h and 67h which have
resolutions of 640x400 256 colors and 640x480 256 colors, respectively.
These modes do require that you have 512k RAM installed on your Fastwrite
card.

   Interactive appears to support the entire line of Video 7 VGA cards
(including the higher resolutions of the Fastwrite for 16 colors) so
this looks to me like an oversight.  If a developer at Interactive 
is reading this could you please contact someone there who can do something
about it (I can't get through your phone defenses without spending $100,
at least :-)).  It should be a trivial fix.  Thanks.
