This is from the README of XFree86 3.1.2: Note: The Diamond SpeedStar 24 (and possibly recent SpeedStar+) boards are NOT supported, even though they use the ET4000. The Stealth 32 which uses the ET4000/W32p is also not fully supported. The Weitek 9100 and 9130 chipsets are not supported (these are used on the Diamond Viper Pro and Viper SE boards). Most other Diamond boards will work with this release of XFree86. Diamond is now actively supporting The XFree86 Project, Inc. Not all is lost however, ask info@xinside.com if they do support your board. >2. Could somebody confirm or deny that the BSDI compiles of Netscape 1.x > run OK on FreeBSD? All 1.X Netscape's are running, and even the 2.0beta is. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
