 You are certainly right, I forgot about this fact.

 Unfortunately the grf concept of the Amiga is not very common -
on the other hand, it is the only one right know - to my knowledge -
which supports multiple graphic boards at the same time. 
(Yes, it is fun tu have two monitors running and X being displayed
on both. OK, works with one monitor as well :-)

 Whatever - Michael, you should contact Chris Hops or Ignatios
directly and offer them the program for integration - unless they
didnt contacted you already.
