The Chipset has a problem that there is no one porting X86 to it. If you read the READMEs that come from the X development group they do mention this problem. So the problem is not Debian support but X support. I think the problem was made worse initially because the chip maker was unwilling to give information about the chip.

The only difference that has impacted me directly was that someone has wriiten a filter for Red Hat that allows remote printing with the normal lpr without resorting to other fancy ways of trying to accomplish this but otherwise its 99.9% the issue of linux drivers. /----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
