Larry,
Sorry if this is a duplicate -- I tried to send a message like this just
a few minutes ago -- it's gone and I can't find it in my sent folder.
Anyway, thanks very much for that information.
I wanted to let you know that I did try to go to the source, something
like 1 to 2 months ago, and found this (and still says this today):
http://xfree86.org/4.0.2/Status30.html#30
Which says:
Summary:
Support for the 86C201, 86C202, 86C215, 86C225, 5597 and 5598 is
currently only available in 3.3.6.
Clearly, your information is better information because it is based on
4.0.3 instead of 4.0.2, and is also better news!
I am writing (again) to xfree86 to suggest that they rearrange the
information to be more clear.
Thanks,
Randy Kramer
