Funny that either COM4 as 8514 are IBM kids. :-) S3 can coexist with traditional COM4, since it's possible to remap their IO registers (they only default to the 8514-compatible mode). XFree86 didn't implement this however (and i doubt somebody is bothered enough to do it -- i would rather scratch a pad on my serial card and reconnect the port to 0x268 or 0x368 :-). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
