- There are currently no Tseng or S3 OS2 drivers. Although you can ftp
- some orchid beta drivers that marginally work with ET4000 cards. The color
- palette is screwed up though. On the other hand the ATI Ultra cards are
- 8514 compatible and OS2 has built in support for that. I think thats what
- he meant.
