My machine at work uses a #9 card with a 86C764 (``trio'') chip, it works all the day quite well, in 16 bpp mode. I've got a Mach64 running today, however it required tweaking of the sio driver (taking over a patch from -current to prevent it stomping on the 0x2e8 register), and the most recent Beta X-Server from XFree86 (3.1.2B). After this, it worked fairly well though. -- 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. ;-)
