- Yes, it needs special WD 9031 aware drivers. The Paradise SVGA driver
- will get you Paradise SVGA Performance (maybe a *little* better).
- No, I have not heard of any X386 support for the 24X. If you
- really want to run X386, you're probably better off with an
- ATI 8514 clone or an S3 (someone's working on S3 X386).
