Well, the NeoMagic page (http://www.rahul.net/neomagic/Nmdriver.html) seem
to imply there's Linux support via a third party company (Xi Graphics).

Also, for all the lack of enthusiasm for Warp of many IBM units, I would
really be surprised (and disappointed) if they didn't come with OS/2
drivers.

Btw, is the 560X already available?
