Our (commercial) X Server should solve this.  There's a demo on our
Anon-FTP site, ftp.xinside.com in accelx/1.2/demo/ .  Two things to
note:

+	If you have FreeBSD 2.x you'll need the FreeBSD 1.1 compat libs

+	There are some new Mach64 variants, so if the demo fails, try
	our Beta update in:

	ftp://ftp.xinside.com/accelx/1.2/beta/ati.tar.gz

	and use the README in that directory for installation
	instructions.

Cheers, JeremyC.
