There are two XF68 X-Server currently availabel: a SVGA server and a
W32 server. The SVGA server supports et4000, however this code is not
tested, because I have only a et4000w32 card. Since this X-Server
don't depend on the PCI bus, it should run at a Crazy Dots. What
you need is a kernel driver like that of the Hades. I think this
one from the Hades can be taken as a base for a et4000 kernel driver.
