Very Computer

        Hello,

I'm planing to buy a AGP2 Pentium II Based PC. (440LX)
It will be equiped with ATI 3D Expert 8Mb

What I'd like to know (I was unable to find the answer in
HOWTO / Commercial-HOWTO / yahoo / FAQ / dejanews / ...) is:

 - Is there any code written yet for AGP support (even in beta kernels)
 - If not, is it planed for next months?
 - If yes, would I be able to use my ATI 3d as a simple vga board or
   a simple ati 2d board?
 - If vga mode aren't accessible, at least, will I be able to have a
   text mode?

For the future,

 - Is it planed that this gfx board be supported by:
        * XFree *.*
        * Metro-X or any commercial X- Servers.
        * Mesa (just like the 3dfx is)

Thanks a lot for any answers.

I can't comment as far as the graphics board is concerned, but you will
almost undoubtably be able to access both text and SVGA modes.

I have a 440LX m'board with an AGP card installed.  I have X running at
800x600x256.. I'm waiting for direct support for my card.

BTW, I think that this should added in some FAQ. (AGP Will become
common soon)

Anyway, thanks for your answer.

Xi Graphic's AcceleratedX Version 4.1 has
support for the Number Nine Revolution 3D
AGP Video card and the Millennium II AGP
server should be out next week. The Millennium
II gets over 36 Xmarks!
