YEEE HAAWWWW!!!!!  That done it :-)

I should let you know that I'm not incredibly saavy when it comes to X.  The only reson I'm running 4.0 is to get support for my ATI Rage 128 (which it does nicely I might add).  I have noticed it's WAY faster than X3.3.3, though :-)  Another question I've got is on my Token Ring card (yes, sadly this thing is running on TOKEN RING).  I need the linux drivers for the Olicom 16/4.  Supposedly they exist but Olicom was bought by Madge, and Madge's T/R drivers won't work with my Olicom.  Anyone have experience with  Olicom T/R under linux?  (other than removing them and replacing with ethernet).
