Hi,

A while back (Ok, about 9 months ago), I was using the following
combination successfully: IIcx, Taras color kernel, color X server, and
fvwm 1.24 (downloaded from the Amiga binary archive).  I can't say
anything about 1.3-ALPHA or the slotman kernel, but I know it works with
the old color X server.

I would be interested to know how this turns out. When 1.3-BETA comes out,
I am planning on upgrading ratbert (my C650) and try running the slotman
kernel with a video card I have here. It would be great to be able to run
color X at 1024x768. Hey, I can dream, can't I?
