it is well supported under xfree 3.3.6 using xsvga
server. But the old xsvga has a bug that causes the
font not to display. I dont know how about the current
xsvga in debian potato yet. probably it got fixed. If
not try to replace it using the suse rpm version ;
better copy it by hand to replace it the old server;
This works for me long time a go when I installed for
my friend machine. I still have this rpm here, if you
can find out or need, I could send it to you. But
better installing woody......
