I do not have GT, but I do have GTB (Rage II+DVD) and X seem to work ok
with it. Are you using KDE by any chance ? Something in it (lots of
eye candy I bet) manages to slow down even the fastest cards.

Why don't you try twm first and see if it is any better. Next try
Enlightenment.. I suggest "Blue Metal" scheme as it is less pixmap
intensive. Also reducing your resolution to 640x480 might speed up things
as well.
