X has radically changed from XF3 to XF4. The limit of my X hacking was identifying some patches to the mouse driver code so that multiple mice could be used independantly. I've never worked with video drivers. I don't really want to now, I just want Rage driver to support my external video port, and if that means writing it myself I'm willing to learn. I'm just looking for the correct person/people to pester in order to get started. Ani Joshi sounds like a good starting person, Michel Danzer, maybe? > I've actually seen an XF86Config for driving the external monitor at > different resolution(s) from the LCD, but I can't find that info at > the moment.

I need XF4 and Rage128. jas.
