- The problem has nothing to do with the HiColor option. The problem is that
- Diamond has come out with a new series, the speedstar 24, which has a
- programanle clock. Diamond has so far been unwilling to release the info
- required to program said clock. Thus ths newer speedstar cards are wounded
- for use with X windows.
