Though I am really starting to hate suse I wish redhat would start puting out a ppc version.

X is so slow. even slower compared to a similar card I have on my intel

speed up my xserver? Is there a better version of XFree86 I should use
for my system? I am using xfree 4.0.2. here is my XF86config:
Well, I've been running XFree 4.1.0 (from Debian sid) on a FireWire iBook
(which also has the ATI Rage Mobility M3 video chipset. I'm attaching my
XF86Config - I'd recommend going to XFree 4.1.0. Also, you'll have to
change the "PanelWidth" and "PanelHeight" settings to correspond to the
panel dimensions for your display - 1024 and 768, right? (I've not used
an iBook2 myself.) And you'll probably have to change the BuSID to match
what 'XFree86 -scanpci' shows as the PCI ID for the Mobility M3 chip in
your iBook2. But I can say it's quite snappy - I also have XVideo, and can
play DivX video clips at full screen with no frame drops in Xine.
