Look for the thread "Re: BT848 & ATI / S3 Cards" in your > multimedia folder. > No change was done to the Bt848 driver to support the Matrox Millenium. Xfree86 simply changed the byte ordering in the their X Server. Not sure if it was due to our request or not however I did mention the problem that we were having to David Dawes who is part of XFree86. The Matrox Millenium X server is the fastest X server that XFree86 has to offer at least thats the case for the last few months. On my PPro it generates over a million X stones at 8 bit color depth and 1024x768. I own several graphic cards and must say that I don't miss my S3 968 which I am very fond of and still use on my Pentium 133 system 8) Amancio
