Meaning 3.1.2E does not work properly on the 760C?

On the 760E under NetBSD, 3.1.2E works fine with the VGA server, but
not with the SVGA server :-(. I haven't found anything better (or
heard back from the XFree project -- maybe it's time to join?)
so I'm using the VGA server.

Do you have more info on this? (who and where?)

I've found that the mwave soundblaster support works if you load the
mwave drivers under DOS, but this is not the case with the mwave
modem support (which is of course, more useful).
