Hello
I traced thru various newsgroups on Linux and notice that XFree86 driver
for Genoa 8500VL (Cirrus Logic chip) is in alpha release stage. I recently
bought a 486 with that Video Card and have been using Linux with X-window
since then.
I would like to know when the driver will be available to public
as I am seriously considering returning the Video Card and asking for another
one (prob one with ET4000) before it is too late to do so.
If it may be out within a month or so, I am
willing to wait. Otherwise, I would like to have another Card that works
with XFree86 color server.
Besides, should I look for another video card, which one is the best with
1 MByte video ram with local bus? Any suggestion?
