Just out of interest, how much does 'Accelerated X' cost?  I can't
imagine it would be < $US100, which is more than you'd pay for a quite
reasonably fast GeForce or Radeon or even a Matrox card, all of which
are accelerated under XFree86.  

On the other hand, maybe you've got some really expensive 3d card which
none of the XFree86 hackers can afford to buy and hack on:) 

Idly curious,
