Neither I nor the other developers have access to these products, so it's hard to test it out. But the stuff is there (albeit not completely tested.) >4. X must be able to run 1152 900 resolution.

BSD *defined* TCP/IP on Unix, so of course it works. :-) Nate -- nate@bsd.coe.montana.edu | FreeBSD core member and all around tech. nate@cs.montana.edu | weenie. work #: (406) 994-4836 | home #: (406) 586-0579 | Available for contract/otherwise work.
