(PC-Xview supports all video cards based on the following video controllers: ET4000, ET3000, ATI, Paradise, ... in SuperVGA resolution) The author of this article also mentioned, that DESQview/X will problably support the TIGA interface. However, it would be nice to know the definite date, when DESQview/X will be available with or without SuperVGA support.

From the betas (alphas?) that I've seen of Desqview/X, no special driver is needed -- you supply it with the SVGA mode number of the mode you wish to run under, and it works. Looks really good, too. I suppose they will HAVE to supply drivers eventually, since working through the bios would tend to be slow...
