Hi, I am considering switching to Free BSD and XFree86 but am conerned
about support for my display card.  Is is an ATI XL24 which can do 16.7
million colours at 640x480.  Does anyone know of a display driver that
will support that video 'mode' for X?  If not how much would it cost
to have someone write it for me?  Please e-mail me with any info you have.
Thanks in advance!

Doug
