I suspect it will work. Actually, I'd be surprised if it did not, and want to
hear about it either way. (My test card was 4 fxp's behind I think a 21150
bridge)

Hrmm.. Is that something people are actually interested in? I mean it's neat
and all that to run X on it, but it never seemed like something I would want to
do for a long period of time. Do you really want to run your 7248 as a desktop?
Right now the biggest way people can help, is to test boot kernels that I will
occasionally post links to on the list. Some of my changes are pretty
far-reaching, and it's best to test it on as many machines as possible. This
is especially true for machines I don't own. I own only a 7248, a 7043-100 and
a 7024-E20.
