(RedHat 3.0.3) and Warp Connect. For X, I just used the XF86config
program, which listed the 2000Pro/X in the card database. The only
thing I added was the -bpp 16 in startx, to get 65k colors at my
resolution of 1024 X 768. No problems of any kind at all... I believe
that 2MG, 4MB, and 8MB are all options (I have 2MB VRAM).
