In the system now is an old(3-4 yrs) ATI VgaWonder. I also have a newer ATI VgaWonder+ available but would rather not use it since it doesn't have the bus mouse port like the older one has. Anyway in the doc's i've read it mentions the Mach8 and Mach32 chipsets for ATI. The manuals for both my ATI cards do not mention any Mach_ at all. Are the Mach chipsets newer than my cards? or am i missing somthing? Can i use The SVGA or VGA16 servers? Also are there any problems with XFree86 and a Bus mouse, should i switch to a serial mouse? Thanks Much, Ron -- Ron Porter porter@chem.wisc.edu Univ. of Wisconsin Madison
