- Well, I suspect this is a TwinHead slimnote, same as Altima, Compudyne, and
- a few other companies that put their names on these Taiwanese clones. I
- don't recognize the model number in the Subject: but I do know that RS also
- sells these. I have a Compudyne version (the 486DX/33 one if that helps).
- I don't have it with me at the moment so can't tell you whether my chips
- have the same exact numbers. They sound similar though....

- You should have no problems getting XFree86 running in mono. If you have
- the built-in trackball thingy you will need to do the right things to use
- it with X.
-
- All of the information you need should be in the FAQs.
