- The GUI Kit supplied by ESIX includes support for both the ATI SVGA
- chipset and the 8514/A accelerator. In fact, the card is used internally
- within ESIX for its X servers.
-
- Note: ATI last week pre-announced some new products. Look for prices to
- drop soon on existing baords, and even-faster 8514/A implementations
- to come out. Specifically, I think it's called the Graphics Ultra Pro.
- The demo was *quite* impressive. I was told it's register compatible
- with existing boards, so no change in drivers should be required (except
- that it'll handle more colours at any given resolution).
