Something funny is going on here.  I'm using RedHat 7.0 with an ATI Rage
Pro 8MB video card, which uses Mach64 servers, I think.  It appears that
I'm running XFree86-3.3.6 rather than 4.0.1 as I had expected.  What's
going on here?

Thanks.

Lee.

	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
