    Is this entirely true?  I've heard of some individuals using an x86
    emulator to execute some x86 video card BIOS calls (usally on
    Alpha-based machines, eg
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2001/debian-alpha-200109/msg00049.html),
    but I haven't seen anything like this in the standard XFree86
    distro, or in the YellowDog XFree86 package.  The Alpha packages
    usually required a kernel patch.  Does anyone know anything more
    about this?

    Thanks in advance
