Well, the finals :
--- it IS supported by 311u2 of XFree , BUT there is no
binary for FreeBSD - only for Linux . ( why ? )
--- supposedly full support for it will be included in 312 which
will ( probably ) appear in a month or two
As for 964 - I run it here just fine ... but that's not
the bleading edge anymore :(
