Q.F17- Is a server for the Mpact 2 chipset available?
No. XFree86 has no chipset documentation for this chipset. No one has
stepped up to try and develop such a driver, to begin with. There is no
projected timeframe for such a driver, but since development hasn't
started yet, it will be a long time before this changes.
I saw somebody say they got it to work in 320x200 with, I think, the svga
server.
