The mga driver has a very good reputation for 2D performance, but I just replaced a G450 with a Rage128 Pro in this work machine and it's at least as fast in general, in fact it feels slightly snappier, but maybe that's just me. :) A Radeon should be significantly faster in turn. The only thing lacking yet is Render acceleration for AA text. I'm experimenting with that but no dice yet. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
