Re: Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO EZ Linux EMC Installation

I can tell you for sure that my video card does not, but I do understand
that the latest version
of xfree supports it, and a lot of other newer cards. I was considereing
downloading it
and tryning it, but now that I have it working, I'm reluctant to mess with
it. I probably will
eventually.
