It's not moving towards "unsupported". It's still on my supported list. Anyway, sorry for not immediately replying, but I had other things going on last week that took precedence over XFree86. Anyways, in general, just because I (or any of the other maintainers on the list) don't respond immediately to a request, doesn't mean that we've dropped off the face of the earth and the card is in jeopardy of becoming unsupported. :-) Marc has already sent me e-mail, and I just got back in town so now I can reply to him. > A local supplier is still advertising r128 and Mach64 cards (never mind > laptops) for sale, and I think that at least one of my colleagues > is still buying new machines with r128 cards. > > I have a Mach64 and an r128 driving displays on my desktop, so I'll to > take a little more effort to watch that software rot is not setting in.
