<h3><font color="#0000e0">X Window System:</font></h3>

<p>

XFree86 Version 4.2.0 is supported on most systems.

Only the ATI graphics adapters are supported with the accelerated X server

at the current time.

It is possible to use X in framebuffer mode with either the SBus

cgthree and cgsix cards

or on-board ATI graphics at the boot resolution/depth using the

wsfb(4) driver.

<p>

The directions on how to enable the accelerated X server are present

in the <tty>/usr/X11R6/README</tty> file on the installed system.

<p>

High end graphics (ZX, Creator, Elite3D, etc.) are currently not

supported. Some of them may work in cgsix emulation mode.
