This is a question regarding running the latest XFree in 386BSD
with an ATI Graphics Ultra card.  Has anyone got this to work with
a Revision 1.4 graphics card?  I have a Gateway 2000 486-33 system
with a "stripped down" (for Gateway) version of the Graphics Ultra
card (no bus mouse, but otherwise I believe the card is the same).
Unfortunately however the revision number is 1.4, and (some months
ago) I fought with this and could not make XFree work with it.

If anyone has been able to get such a setup to work, PLEASE email
me on compuserve with the details.  Thanks.
