[ale] SVGALIB and Q2 (kinda off topic...)

[Stephen F Nicholas]

Hi,
  Don't know if this will be of any help, but I've heard that S.u.S.E has
released a small sampling of their Xserver work.  Some Matrox cards are
included in this (I think the Millennium card is included.)  Check out
their website at:

http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html#matrox

LET IT BE KNOWN:

 I haven't tried these files as of yet.  I run a similiar card at work
using RedHat 4.2 and will be upgrading to 5.0.  I've heard good things
about this, but that's it.  Use at your own risk (but I'd be VERY
interested in your feedback.) I may soon be in the same boat with you (but
I've got to wait for things to slow down at work before I break a stable
system :)

Hope this helps,

Steve
