I read through the FAQ for XFree86, and it claims that it won't
support my card due to trade secrets and non disclosure.  They're
afraid that Diamond Computer Systems will file legal action against
them.

I'm beginning to lose hope.  I have a quality graphics card, and it
seems to be all but unusable.  I'm open to any suggestions as to how
I can get X up and running on my machine.

Email is preferred, since I don't really follow this group.  Thanks.
