The Cirrus chipsets will likely be supported in 1.3. We have a driver that is being tested; from what I understand, it should be sufficiently stable by the time 1.3 ships. Note that this will only be an SVGA driver. The accelerated features of the 5426 won't be available until 2.0 -- David Wexelblat <dwex@mtgzfs3.att.com> (908) 957-5871 Fax: (908) 957-5627 AT&T Bell Laboratories, 200 Laurel Ave - 3F-428, Middletown, NJ 07748 XFree86 requests should be addressed to <xfree86@physics.su.oz.au> "Love is like oxygen.
