- I have repeatedly seen people asking about particular ATI cards. The problem
- is that ATI has so many different models! Perhaps we should add a list of
- ATI cards to the X FAQ showing which particular models DO work? Diamond is
- starting to get confusing, also, since they are using non-ET4000 chips on
- some of their cards and even some of the Diamond ET4000 cards aren't working
- with X.
-
- Please don't send me mail about this, I have a video card that works with
- X. It is a Diamond SpeedStar, just a plain old pre-highcolor SpeedStar
- but it isn't the SpeedStar Plus, either. (See what I mean about confusing?)
