I'm not the one that started them on this track of theirs; they voluntarily chose to support linux. so, SUPPORT IT! don't do it half-assed - either do it right or quit trying to be a linux company. agreed. they should shitcan this linux garbage once and for all. if they never had released an x-server for the #9 i128-fp cards, then I wouldn't have bought any of these displays. and there would be nothing to 'whine' about since linux would clearly not be a supported o/s. but they DO claim linux support. sorry you have a problem with that (die-hard irix bigot, maybe? nt weenie?) wow, news to me. you show me where sgi themselves specifically released an x-server for full support with the 1600sw and the bundled #9 card... i'll live with the IRIX bigot attribution. (oh, and btw, xfree86 != linux. get that straight mr. troll) who said it did? of course they are both cobbled together trash but that is
