(you might also have problem getting sound to work, if they're based on the Mwave DSP. the other think to watch for is the video chip. the 760E uses a Trident CYBER9320 chip. check the XFree86 3.3.1 release notes to see if thats supported. other than that, should be no problems. I have a 760XD (video chip: Trident CYBER9385) with a 3C589 10Base-T, running with xfree86-3.3.1. (Mwave Modem and sound doesn't work unfortunately.) regards, roland -- Roland Yeo <roland@irdu.nus.sg> Internet R&D Unit, National University of Singapore
