(Made by Paradise). Are there X drivers that support these cards? We would prefer to use them in 1024x768 mode if possible. Yes, see /contrib/XFree86/README on export.lcs.mit.edu for more info. The other two cards are made by Microfield Graphics, inc. They are their V8 cards using 14x11 monitors (1200x1000 resolution). We would REALLY like to use these with X if possibly. Any one worked with them? Anyone written a driver for them for a different OS? [...] The XFree86 doesn't support Microfield but we will begin to review their hardware soon. Their chipsets are custom so it is unlikely that they will work with the XFree86 server. Rich
