Most Diamond Stealth 64 cards do with XFree86 3.1.1. I'm using a 6-month
old Diamond Stealth 64 PCI VRAM right now under FreeBSD 2.0 and
XFree86 3.1.1 (available from ftp.xfree86.org). Be aware that the
Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM and Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM are quite different.
You may want to be more precise about your questions in the future.
I've heard that the newest Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM card does not work
with XFree86 (on any platform) because Diamond changed chipsets.
(Apparently Diamond has a habit of using one product name for what are
really very different cards. <sigh> ) This should be supported in the
next XFree86 release (June?). Watch comp.windows.x.i386unix for more
precise answers to this particular FAQ.
