I think the one you're talking about is the acceleration modules built
for Xfree.. i tried many times to run X using my video card as a an offb
card, but all i could get was 640x480 at 8 bit depth...
if someone can suggest me the way to let X working at 1024x768x16 with
nvidia geforce seen as offb i would be really happy!!
