Let us know!  A number of people are actually working on video support
for X and FreeBSD (I have a Diamond Viper Pro Video card just waiting
for X Inside to support it with their video extension! :-) and this is
an area that's really hotting up.  Much interest.

Heh..  I have some dealings with them too, but I have to keep that
little bit of information under wraps until I can actually forward the
press release to this group telling folks how they can run networked
VR under FreeBSD! :-) [one of my little side-projects, and how I spent
my last weekend!]
