They used to... when I got my machine, XF86 didn't support the Matrox
Millennium, but XInside's server did. Version 1.3 was the last NetBSD
version (and it still works fine; I'm using it now). They dropped NetBSD
support after that though... I don't remember why exactly, something about
not enough interest, I think. Anyways, I've mailed them saying that I'd
upgrade my 1.3 to the latest and greatest if they made a NetBSD version;
perhaps you (and everyone else who would buy a NetBSD version of their
server) should drop 'em some email :)
