- I have _my_ drivers....I can't help but giggle to myself everytime I see a
- video message - I got lucky enough to purchase one of the BOCA SVGA cards
- with the ET4000 chipset - yes, the one listed in the readme as specifically
- supported.
-
- I agree that there's something wrong, though. Does anyone know what the most
- popular video cards are? I know around here most people have Tridents since
- that's what the bookstore sells.
-
- I'd write some drivers but I only have one computer and it has that lovely
- ET4000 in it... :)
