I'm running 386bsd on a 486 box, with a Diamond Viper VLB Accelerator Card, and I'm looking for an X-windows distribution that I can run on my machine. 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.
