I've installed Debian Lenny on a Fujitsu B110 mini notebook, probably
quite similar to yours internally, and it is quite slow, indeed.
I also have Neomagic on a Dell Latitude CPi 300 MHz P2 with
VectorLinux 5.0. I don't remember any unusual slowness with that one.
Older X? Just a thought...
i've had a peek into source, and it seems that there is
problem with ImageWrite and colour expansion...
runnin x11perf is quite interesting, it seems this chipset is
not so dead slow, and many modes are quite quick...
except the ones which are not ;)
ad. older X - as there is no accel of i.e.
hello.
I am (un)fortunate owner of old tablet pc
(fujitsu stylistic 2300) equipped with neomagic chipset.
I would like to thank developers of current driver -
it works, it is stable, it has gentoo ebuild.
It allows me to use this pretty old machine
for (let's say portable) gps and sketchpad.
