- While on irc today, I "met" linuxbot. I "asked" about Xwindows, and the
- reply I recieved was:
-
- -linuxbot- There is a new port for X11 windows that runs under Linux.
- -linuxbot- It should support standard VGA, ET4000, Paradise, and ATI
- -linuxbot- (maybe more). A mouse is also required. Most serial and
- -linuxbot- bus mice should work with linux.
-
- Which ATI card is supported? Is the new ATI ULTRA PRO backward
- compatible. If there is a Mach8 driver written, will the Mach32 run with
- it, or would the UltraPro need to run in 8514 mode?
