Well, the Weitek is not yet supported by XFree86, but the word is out that it
will be by 2.0 or 2.1. (Don't worry, seems the the next version will be 2.0 :)
But given the proprietary approach of Diamond, i doubt that the Viper VLb
could be supported :(. If you want a P9000 card the look for Orchids P9000/VLB
or the JPN card ...
For further questions about XFree86 it is better to direct them to:
comp.windows.x.i386unix
That is where i got those informations ...
