Sounds good. I shall support them and buy one of their card then. I will
wait a year or so, though, the time for the community to either
improve/debug the official driver and/or develop  their own driver.

Looking a their website, looks like they are competing in the same arena
as ATI and Nvidia. Even if they are say 10% slower (I don't know), it
will still probably be many times faster than my current on-board
GeForce2 MX 32MB, so that's fine by me :o)
As long as they have a model that costs 100 Euros max, and doesn't need
a cooling fan (I value silence more than performance...), I will gladly
buy from them and support their attitude towards the Linux community.
The problem is that, as of now, I can't see ANY card from XGI, available
in French on-line computer shops... :-/
