Yurgh. Oh well -- i have your stock 2.2.9 kernel working perfectly. Ok sure, I could probably save 200k of non-swappable RAM by compiling my own kernel. I must say, X11 performance on my Ultra 5 (Rage-64) is rather disappointing. Am I wrong in assuming that either a 64-bit X server, or other misc. optimizations in the linux kernel etc etc. should eventually lead to, um, I dunno, a 30% speed improvement? Or at least better interactive performance? I note in particular that the X server tends to really bog down under load... -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
