I seem to remember a few months ago that someone was asking about writing
X support for the Wyse 700 monitor/graphics card which had the strange
attribute of storing even and odd scan lines at different address blocks
a la the IBM CGA.  Did anything ever come of this?  I'd love to know--
I'm trying to decide which hires monitor to purchase for porting X to
Xenix 386 on an AT-style machine.  Also, I'd love to receive any comments
on other IBM-PC 'desktop publishing' monitor/controller combinations as far
as programming ease and reliability goes (however, I suspect we're in
uncharted territory here...)
