I am not sure about the XF86 version, though I have heard reports that
at the least you can drive the on board Cirrus Logic chip.

The company I work for, X Inside Inc., does have support for the
I128-2 as of version 2.1 .  There are a few bugs currently with some
revisions of the boards - best to download the 10-minute demo
(http://www.xinside.com/).  See if it works well on your system.

ObFreeBSD:  we use FreeBSD extensively in-house at XII, even though we
have access to virtually every kind of PC un*x.  I personally have
just switched from Linux to FBSD because XEmacs kept dumping core
under Linux - but didn't under FBSD :-)

Cordially
