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?
