The CL-GD 5446 is mentioned in the 3.1.2G > server. The Xfree86 Beta 3.1.2G works fine for the clgd5446. Also you may want to get the 312Glig.tgz file for the new Cards database. the CLGD5446 is not listed under Cirrus Logic though, so you'll have to search through the file for it. I think the card comes up at around No.203 Cheers, Neil
