- XFree86 does NOT support ATI Ultra (i.e. 8514) or S3. There are people
- working on X servers for those boards, under 386BSD and Linux. But this
- work is not part of XFree86; in fact, it's not even based on XFree86 (they
- started with the stock X11R5 ports to those OSs). Someone may wind up
- porting those to XFree86, but we are not working on it ourselves.
