It is. It won't be as easy to get going as with a Rage128 chip but it would probably be worth it. If you absolutely want to stay with Xpmac I'm afraid you'll have to look for a version which can handle the new input layer and/or USB mice. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member
