    Hmm, but doesn't XFree86 already have drivers for just about every video
card that you could want to shove in a PCI slot? Does anyone know if the
XClaimVR is the exact same card as the All in Wonder Pro, only with OF
support? Since I'm connected to a VGA monitor, it doesn't do mac autosense
and I'm always at 1024x768 at 60 Hz (yuck!), X sure is snappy though :)
