   I don't think that this should be taken into consideration as there will
*always* be people with this kind of equipment, (me, for example) who
would like to be able to run X, despite the lack of speed, (despite
the lack of *any* speed :-) on their machine. Of course, there might
be other points on running X on a 8900c, like the difficulcy to program
the card and that's a *much* larger problem (compared to the speed, I meen).
   I don't know anything about SVGA-programming but I do encourage anyone who
would like to implement support of the 8900c to do so!!
