I'd like to learn more about the terms under which their drivers are available. If they qualify as free software I will not hesitate to recommend them. Thanks for providing information about this. If you have any URLs to share about where I can find the exact software you're referring to, I'd appreciate it. > The answer to my inquiries about porting it to a recent linux distro on > linux-video and redhat-xfree86 was not only ignored, but something like > "no one is interested on it - if you want it, go and port it for > yourself". I would, if I knew how. Then it's time to learn more about computer software programming. The same difficulty would affect you if you want to add a new room on a house, change a muffler on a car, or cook French onion soup. Before you can do big jobs you have to learn how. And after you become more skilled, your idea of what is a big job will change. But at least you have the freedom to change the program.
