First off, I think we never dropped support for any card we started to support. Secondly, the X11 protocol has been stable and unchanged since X11R1. That means in case there would be an X11R9, you still can use a X11R1 based X-Server to run all your clients. Hence it does not really matter which X-Server version and which client version you have (unless you have buggy clients or a buggy X-Server). - Thomas -- Denver Office THOMAS ROELL /\ Das Reh springt hoch, +1(303)298-7478 X INSIDE INC / \/\ das Reh springt weit, 1801 Broadway, Suite 1710 / \ \/\ was soll es tun, Denver, CO 80202 roell@xinside.com / Oelch! \ \ es hat ja Zeit.
