That would be really great. My son detected TuxRacer as his most wanted
games at the "Braunschweiger Linux Days" :). Now I want to offer him this
ability at least on the laptop, because our desktop has only K6/200 with
PCI bus and I'm not sure if it would be much fun to find a working PCI card
for this fairly old box.
