Hi all,
I've been using the Mach64 server from SuSe and it works great. The SuSe
people recommend that you use their own slightly modified xfconfig program.
One thing I've noticed, and you might want to check this out, is that the
symlink to the server is in /usr/X11R6/bin, not in /etc/X11 as in redhat.
Another thing was that the config program had the wrong name for the
server. In my case it was pointed to a server named XMach64, while the
server installed by their rpm was called XF86_Mach64. Another difference
from redhat is that the XF86Config file was located in /etc, not /etc/X11.
hope this gets you going.
Harold
