   With the  Xaccel server, yes!   It's $99 (info@xinside.com).   You may
   even be  able to do  this for free with  XFree86, but I've  long since
   upgraded my  trusty #9  GXE64Pro to a  Matrox Impression  Plus/4Mb and
   can't verify that..

Support for the  Number Nine GXE64 Pro  1600's S3 Vision 968 will  be in the
next patchlevel of XFree86, due out the end of May.

I'm probably going to get this card, unless I decide that I'll be happy with
1280x1024 on a 21" monitor, which is around $1000 cheaper than a monitor and
card that are both capable of 1600x1200 at at least 70Hz.

Be happy...
