Um.... is that a driver, or a product? The answer is no to both, though. That doesn't show up as one of the choices of driver when I run `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86`. In fact just about all of the choices are 5-character names or less.
If it *is* a driver, how can I incorporate it into my system? I'm very new to X11, so pardon me if I've missed something obvious.
(I'm especially hopeful because I just got the big old "negatory" from the boss when I asked if I could purchase a supported video card with my own money so I could get X11 up and running. So if I can't use what I've got I may be SOL.)
