I pulled an evaluation copy from their ftp server which I had not tried to use until very recently (I have a work and a life, you know). When thing did not work I looked up documention (never before ;-)) and found out that it required a compatibility library. I understand it is something required to make 1.x applications run under 2.x FreeBSD, but how do you go about installing and starting it? Of course, if somebody has found a way to make XFree86 work fine with a similar board... I am sure I could find a better use for $99! Manuel Esteban-Infantes.
