Duh, I didn't even check since it didn't support it in the previous
version. I just now checked the documentation, (www.xfree86.org) and it
does look like supports 24bpp for my card (S3 968). I am looking forward
to trying it when I get home. Thanks for the info, and thanks to XFree86
for their work. These guys deserve a lot of credit.
And the next release of XFree86 due in a week or so supports
_Matrox_Millenium_. Cool. Sorry Xinside, it looks like I won't be
sending you any money. Now there is definitely no reason to use Metro-X
either.
Tony.
