Re: Gateway's Linux support

["Steve Poling" <sdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

are you sure it isn't supported by a later version of Xfree86? i was able to
download install 3.3.3 and got my unsupported-by-RedHat-5.2 Matrox G200 to
work really sweet.i didn't look for the voodoo banshee. check out
www.linuxhardware.com and double check whether it it is still unsupported.

smiles and cheers,

steve
