I'd Googled all but one of these already, but the various different
modelines and other options didn't help. Having gone through the
doc/README.chips file from start to end, it appears that the driver that
comes with XFree 4 is a rewrite, and that XFree 3 may be a better option
until the remaining bugs are ironed out.

So ... can I use an XFree 3 driver on version 4, and if so can anyone
give me any pointers on how to install it? I notice that RedHat Linux
comes with XFree 4 and an assortment of version 3 drivers, so I guess
this is doable. Failing that I'll try rebuilding the last release of
XFree 3, moving version 4 out of the way and seeing how I get on.

If I actually get any satisfactory results then I'll let you know. By
the way, I've resolved the sound support issues with my other latop
which is listed on your page (the Patriot one) by switching to -current.
