In the magazine, published by Quaterdeck U.K. and available at the
CEBIT in Hannover, there is mentioned,
that DESQview/X is based on the GSS X-Server (they develop PC-Xview).
(PC-Xview supports all video cards based on the following video controllers:
 ET4000, ET3000, ATI, Paradise, ... in SuperVGA resolution)
The author of this article also mentioned, that DESQview/X will problably
support the TIGA interface.
However, it would be nice to know the definite date, when DESQview/X
will be available with or without SuperVGA support.
