Perhaps they are not using XFree86....there is Metro-X and
Accelerated-X. In fact, until about 18 months ago, XFree86
was not really very good at all....buggy, lagging in supported
cards, etc. Its better now, but the commercial boys do a good
job too. I would check out Accelerated-X http://www.xig.com
and see if they support the card. If not, check out
Metro Link's site.
