Hi Reiner,

I believe what you are sensing is the frustration of wasting many hours
attempting to install the community version of the S3 driver, only to
find that it does not work.

This aggravation is compounded by suggestions made in this forum
regarding the S3 driver, without indication that they are only
applicable to the paid version of the software - the only version of the
S3 driver that is rumored to work.

Perhaps clear documentation on the community version of the S3 driver
stating that it does not work would:

1.  Prevent the wasting of people's time trying to install inoperative
software?

2.  Result in sales of the commercial version - if the S3 driver is the
purchase reason?

3.  Draw open source developers to effectively reinvent the wheel, that
is the S3 driver that is rumored to already work in the paid version of
the software?

Al
