  operating systems on Intel and other platforms.  This release consists
  of new features and performance improvements as well as many bug
  fixes.  The release is available as source patches against the X Con-
  sortium X11R6.1 code, as well as binary distributions for many archi-
  tectures.

  All of the above are supported in both 256 color, and some are
  supported in mono and 16 color modes.

  Refer to the chipset-specific README files (currently for Cirrus,
  Tseng, Western Digital, ATI, ARK, Trident, Oak, Matrox, NVidia, and
  Video 7) for more information about using those chipsets.

  The monochrome server also supports generic VGA cards, using 64k of
  video memory in a single bank, the Hyundai HGC1280, Sigma LaserView,
  Visa and Apollo monochrome cards.

  The VGA16 server supports memory banking with the ET4000, Trident,
  ATI, NCR, OAK and Cirrus 6420 chipsets allowing virtual display sizes
  up to about 1600x1200 (with 1MB of video memory).  For other chipsets
  the display size is limited to approximately 800x600.

  Note: The Diamond SpeedStar 24 (and possibly some SpeedStar+) boards
  are NOT supported, even though they use the ET4000.

  The Weitek 9100 and 9130 chipsets are not supported (these are used on
  the Diamond Viper Pro and Viper SE boards). Most other Diamond boards
  will work with this release of XFree86. Diamond is actively supporting
  The XFree86 Project, Inc.

  4.  Where to get more information

  Additional documentation is available in the XFree86(1),
  XF86Config(4/5), XF86_SVGA(1), XF86_Mono(1), XF86_VGA16(1),
  XF86_Accel(1) XF86Setup(1) and xvidtune(1) manual pages.  In addition,
  several README files and tutorial documents are provided.  These are
  available in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc in the binary distributions, and
  in  xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc in the source distribution.

  The files QuickStart.doc and README.Config should be consulted for
  information on how to set up the XFree86 servers.  All supplied
  documents, manual pages, and the XFree86 FAQ
  <http://www.XFree86.org/FAQ> should be read before contacting the
  XFree86 team for assistance.

  Documentation on SVGA driver development can be found in the directory
  /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/VGADriverDoc in the binary distribution, and in
  the directory xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/VGADriverDoc in the
  source distribution.

  If you are totally at a loss, you can contact the XFree86 Support Team
  at <XFree86@XFree86.Org>.  Before doing so, please make sure that you
  are using the latest release of XFree86.  Check the versions listed on
  ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86.

  There is a Usenet news group comp.windows.x.i386unix that contains
  mostly discussions about XFree86 and related topics. Many questions
  can be answered there.

  7.  The XFree86 Project, Inc.

  The XFree86 Project, Inc, has been founded to accomplish two major
  goals:

     1. To provide a vehicle by which XFree86 can be represented in X
        Consortium, Inc, the organization responsible for the design,
        development, and release of The X Window System.

     2. To provide some basic funding for acquisition of facilities for
        ongoing XFree86 development, largely to consist of new video
        hardware and basic computing facilities.

  The first of these was the primary motivation.  We have held discus-
  sions with the X Consortium on and off for many months, attempting to
  find an avenue by which our loosely-organized free software project
  could be given a voice within the X Consortium.  The bylaws of the
  Consortium would not recognize such an organization.  After an initial
  investigation about funding, we decided to form our own corporation to
  provide the avenue we needed to meet the requirements of the X Consor-
  tium bylaws.

  By doing this, we were able to be involved in the beta-test interval
  for X11R6, and have contributed the majority of XFree86 to the X11R6
  and X11R6.1 core release.  The version of XFree86 in the initial X11R6

  core is 3.0.  The version of XFree86 in the current X11R6.1 release is
  3.1.2C.

  An additional benefit of this incorporation is that The XFree86
  Project, Inc has obtained outside financial support for our work.
  This will hopefully give us the freedom to be more pro-active in
  obtaining new video hardware, and enable us to release better products
  more quickly, as we will be able to go and get what we need, and get
  it into the hands of the people who can do the work.

  The current Board of Directors and Officers of the The XFree86
  Project, Inc, are:

     o  David Dawes, President and Secretary

     o  Dirk Hohndel, Vice-President

     o  Glenn Lai, Director

     o  Rich Murphey, Treasurer

     o  Jim Tsillas, Director

     o  Jon Tombs, Director

     o  David Wexelblat, Director

  Email to <BOD@XFree86.org> reaches the board of directors.

  Our bylaws have been crafted in such a way to ensure that XFree86 is
  and always will be a free software project.  There is no personal
  financial benefit to any member of the Core Team or any other XFree86
  participant.  All assets of the corporation remain with the
  corporation, and, in the event of the dissolution of the corporation,
  all assets will be turned over to the X Consortium, Inc.  It is hoped
  that by doing this, our corporation will be merely a formalization of
  what we have been doing in the past, rather than something entirely
  new.

  Here is a list of the organizations and individuals who have provided
  sponsorship to The XFree86 Project, Inc, either by financial
  contribution or by the donation of equipment and resources.  The
  XFree86 Project, Inc gratefully acknowledges these contributions, and
  hopes that we can do justice to them by continuing to release high-
  quality free software for the betterment of the Internet community as
  a whole.

     o  UUNET Communications Services, Inc. <http://www.uu.net/>

  UUNET Communications Services, Inc, deserves special mention.  This
  organization stepped forward and contributed the entire 1994 X Consor-
  tium membership fee on a moment's notice.  This single act ensured
  XFree86's involvement in X11R6.


     o  GUUG -- 1st German Linux Congress

  Also deserving of special mention are the organizers and attendees of
  the 1st German Linux Congress in Heidelberg.  Significant funding to
  The XFree86 Project has been provided from its proceeds.
