I don't know. It may already by supported by XFree86 3.3.5. Even
if it's not, it may be simple to get the Mach64 server working for it,
*IF* it is sufficiently compatible with the other chips. For example,
getting XFree86 3.3.5 to "work" with the Mobility-P was a simple matter
of getting the X server to recognize the Mobility-P as a Mach64 chip.
[ Well, the 3.3.5 X server does not, of course, work perfectly with the
Mobility-P, but it seems to work well enough. I can live with the
problems I've seen so far, and so I can wait for real Mobility-P
support in a future XFree86 release. ]
