[I thought I posted the following three weeks ago and received no replies. I'll try again...] Can someone tell me the progress on adding ATI support to Herr Rosell's excellent Xserver? I realized in Rosell's latest offering that he added a dummy ATI driver to the server. Did the gentleman (sorry I forgot his name) has any luck making his ATI driver to work? I know the the Boca SVGA card with Thomas's server? Any problems? How about sending me the configuration file? On a second note, I heard that Thomas shelled out his own $$ to buy a 8514 card to write support for the card. If I were making/selling graphic cards, I would sure donate a few cards to Roell for his disposal. It would be a smart marketing decision. If you have any TI connection, darn, get him a 34010/20 card! Just my $.02 cent worth, Thank you for listening, Brian Stuttgart, FRG -- ============================================================================= Extended Bulletin Board Service, Research & Development Office of Information Technology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill internet: bbs.acs.unc.edu or 128.109.157.30

But when I ran clock.exe to test it's driving frequency distribution, I never could get any number higher than 48Mhz. If clock.exe is correct, then I WON'T buy Boca card just because it's inexpansive. For high resolution, you definitely need 62Mhz, 65Mhz, and in the case of Everex VRAM ViewPoint ET4000 SVGA, higher than 70Mhz. (but you pay $$$$ for it) Too bad I didn't have my unix box handy when I was testing this Boca card, so I won't claim absolute sureness.
