Yes, that's entirely true, BUT: the same thing happens with
commercial software. There's  a wounderfull flatpanel monitor
on the desk next to mine running under framebuffer (shudder!) even
so it has a digital graphic card that is supported by xfree.
The card came bundled with the monitor but until now (after two
frustrating month of email nd telephone exchange with the vendor)
ELSA wasn't able to send us the specs. for the monitor (tel. support:
'we support Windows and Red Hat ...'). After a nice email to germany's
leading computer magazine we got in contact with a 'developer' -- still,
no chance to get any info at all.

Yes, i have to agree. This is an _especialy_ nice group!  (That's the
reason why a definte No-Bolderite  like me is still subscribed ;-)
