Regretfully, only after I posted the reply to this posting did I do the logical
thing.  I called Genoa today.  The person I spoke to said that it is not true
that they are no longer working on the 256 color driver.  He said it should be
ready "after Comdex" {I think}  I hope thats helpful to people who are concerned
about this situation.  However, it is extremely anoying that it is taking them
so long, and that they can not live up to their deadlines.
