In XFree there is 1152x864 resolution which achives the same effect of
16bpp with 2MB. I use it with my Tseng ET6000 with 15" Proview monitor.
BTW I used AccelX for a while, when ATI Mach64 was not supported by XFree
( a year ago ) and now I switched to XFree. I has to say that a year ago
AccelX was much better than XFree, but now it is not a situation, so I use
XFree with 3.2.A SVGA server and it is much nicer than AccelX.
