Since I don't trust you, I figured that it would be best to make
my point clear.
A different but related topic:
We could all benefit if someone starts collecting and posting
performance figures of X servers running at high clock rates
and for the benefit of people not wanting or unable to run
high clock rates. The recent introduction of Vesa Local Bus
systems and Vesa Local Bus cards really needs to be examined
closely to determine its cost effectiveness in the 386bsd X server
arena. Over and over again, the question of what is the best
svga card for 386bsd or Linux is asked. Personally, I am
interested on 801 cards running at a dot clock rate of at least
72MHz and at 1024x768.
