I recently got hold of a EIZO MD-B09 mk.II graphics card. It is a
TMS34010 based monochrome video adapter capable of doing a 1664x1200
resolution. I also have a monitor that can display this resolution.
So the card is a tiga (because of the 34010). 
The communication with the 34010 goes via what is called a DGIS
interface, which stands for Direct Graphics Interface Standard. 
(I never heart of this standard though.)

My question: is there any way I can use the board for Xwindows.
I want to run it on a 386bsd box. 
I know there is no XFree support for the 34010 but did anyone work
on extending XFree with direct 34010 support, or using the DGIS 
interface? (btw: the card has 512k of system memory)

If anyone has information on this DGIS standard, or knows where to find 
such information, I'd be interested too.
