We cannot support the newer sis cards until sis/xgi releases either specs for the 3D engime or a 3D driver. In the past sis was not forthcoming with information, so I would say chances are not good, however, xgi has recently been very open about releasing drivers for their hardware. Some of the newer xgi chips are based on the older sis ones, so depending how similar the engines are we may be able to adapt the code to support the older chip. None of this is set in stone however so take this with a grain of salt. Alex > > Thank You > -- > The Abattoir > |
