Yeah, I have 2.0.33 and cyberfb: works. Thanks.

Hmmm, I found
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de:21/pub/Linux/680x0/X11R6/XCyber64.tar.gz, but is
seems a bit dated. It sports a nice featurelist though - is it possible to
make use of it?
Another problem is that the window movement, scrolling etc are very slow on
gfx-board screen - I assume the Xserver does not use CV64's blitter. Now, is
any work being done to remedy this? The same goes for 16/24-bit modes.

Sure, now it works great, but only after I learned about "cyberfb:". Is it
mentioned anywhere in the docs? :)

Yes, it helped a lot. Thanks a 1e6.

Ps. And on somewhat unrelated matter - is there a point (for me) in
upgrading to 2.0.35? Will I find a binary somewhere?
