Mandrake does have X4 on the CD....you can install that by doing a
upgrade...try using GnoRpm on the CDs and see..SiS support is nothing
much in XF4, and from what I read, there was'nt much in 4.01 either.
Cards made from the SiS chipset are pretty much left alone after
getting up X to work on them. The real work is on tuning X for the
new monster V cvards from Creative, 3dfx...
