It's in the latest Xfree86 alpha, & will probably be making it's way the the 
beta releases in due course. At the moment only S3 & Cirrus hardware are 
supported (on Linux) and I suspect that it's only for those models running 
with a linear mapped frame buffer (i.e. VLB/EISA/PCI - I think I'll be 
upgrading when budget permits!)

        I do not speak for the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland -
                     They don't pay me enough for that!
