Drew Eckhardt (drew@kinglear.cs.Colorado.EDU) uses Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM with
4M of memory (964 based). It works great, he usualy runs it at 1024x768 72hz in
32bpp; 16 and 8bpp also work. He needed to get the X311u2S3.tgz server from ftp.xfree86.org;
people with 968 based Diamond boards will definately need to do this.
