- Well, the issue here is that MetroLink (and SGCS) have access to the
- full documents about the Mach8/Mach32 chipsets. Since you can get them
- only under a NDA, a free X-server would never give you the same power as a
- commercial version, which can make use of these details. Furthermore,
- you have to use DOS to setup a 1024x768 NI mode. The comercial
- products don't require the use of DOS to do that.

- PS: BTW, X386 1.3: 85k xstones on a Ultra ....
