a hellava time trying to configure the card for X windows.  The rest of

Hello Steve,

This is my Xconfig file. I use the old Xfree 2.1
You need to select the Compaq AVGA card. The dotclocks are at the end of
the config file. Resolution upto 800x600. Not higher.
I also have a Compaq Deskpro 66m and Linux/X works fine.

I was just wondering of anybody is working on an QVision driver?
