I am trying to set up Xfree86 and have come to a halt with the video card
specs.

I have a 4 year old Matrox Ultima/Impression card. It came in a Gateway box.  

The chip has:Matrox MGA Power Graphics  IS-Atlas R1 94 10KK701 written on it.

The RAMDAC chip has Bt 485KPJ135 and  473 9335

The rear of the card has a bar code with GTY  MGA PC12 034421454*

The BIOS chip has 809-4 on a label.

I have searched various sites including FreeBSB, Matrox and XFree86 and it
seems pretty clear that the card  is not supported. Other than binning the
card, or any Unix based OS does anyone have a constructive suggestion?

According to the original manual, Matrox support the card for Dos, Windows,
OS/2 and Unix. ... Hollow laugh!

Steve
