Not allot. Most DJGPP developers seem use Allegro. Available for
DJGPP, Windows & Linux as is GRX.

BUT you mentioned XP..... The plot thickens in that under XP some
graphics resolutions / types may not be available due to XP doign
something funny under the hood. For example under XP I don't get
access to some Vesa V2 resolutions on my very old PC, but I did on Win
98.

You millage may vary.

This is a very new card and as such may not be support 100% with the
GHRX 2.0 drivers. I suggest that you try the GRX 2.45 (or later)
assuming that you are not using this version, but if you are then
check out eh GRX home page and see if there is a later version. 

Failing this try Allegro.
