RE: next release and twinturbo card
I found the following which gives me hope. (Hope springs eternal) and may be of interest to you and the kernel builders > [AllanL] 16. Integrated Micro Solutions (IMS) 3.3.6: Support (accelerated) for the IMS Twin Turbo 128 and Twin Turbo 3D is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the imstt driver. 4.1.0: Support (accelerated) for the IMS Twin Turbo 128 and Twin Turbo 3D is provided by the "imstt" driver. Summary: All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.1.0. Driver Status for XFree86[tm] 4.1.0 : Integrated Micro Solutions (IMS) > <>

I just did: strings vmlinux | grep imstt strings vmlinux-2.2 | grep imstt And there is imstt code in there. I know I had trouble with it at one point, but it might have been other kernel builds.
