I'm running both, but I'm also running 2.2.8 on my box instead of 3.X. > 2) How will does it work with PAO3? (any glitches??) No idea. It runs great in 2.2.8 if you merge in the very simple changes for CardBus bridge probing from 3.*. > 3) Does XFree86 work on it or do you have to purchase AccelX? XFree86 works great. The CD works, the PCMCIA stuff (no CardBus support in any FreeBSD release yet), APM seems to work (although I haven't tried it much). However, I haven't gotten sound to work yet. It panics when I use a line someone else sent me, and I haven't been motivated to figure out what the problem is.
