I need some info on XFree86.  Someone told me it was being discussed
here.  I checked the back articles for it but all I came up with was
something about floating point exceptions.

This is what I need to know:

1.  Which, if any, graphics accelerators does it support?  8514/A?
    S3 (any vendor)?

2.  Do you need 386BSD to run it, or could you get it to work with Linux?


3.  Where do you get it.  I tried searching archie for XFree86 but there
    were not hits.
