I could package the new one, but it wouldn't make it for the slink release (as it is now frozen) and XFree should have added support for potato, so I don't think it is worth updating the package. AFAIK there have been no changes from XBF to XFCom apart from the availability of source. >Works well for me, a little slow to startup, and takes a nice chunk of >RAM, but that's to be expected :) >I thought Neomagic wouldn't release specs so XFree couldn't incorporate >support for the cards?
