	Being in the middle of installing FreeBSD 2.0 (from my 1.1.5.1 
previous version), I'm reacquiring all the necessities.. X being one of 
them, of course.

	I used (with XFree862) the VGA256 driver for the Wondercard from 
ATI.. to get 256 colours on a 640x480 monitor (using virtual size of 
800x640 for a screen float).

	The XFree3.1 dist doesn't seam to have such a server.. was it not 
supported? Am I doomed to use Xfree2 so as to keep 256 colours (a 
necessity, would't you agree?)

		Jeff

	Please respond.. god forid me to use a mere 16 colours..
