Re: Problems with xfree86 4.0.1d - Compac Armada 1500c(CT69000+DSTN)
4.0.1e (and 4.0.1-2 by Branden) does work on my IBM ThinkPad235
with C&T 65555. Thanks!

The modification to use the new fb code was introduced on chips driver
at 4.0.1d partly, and that was very possibly the cause of the problem.
But 4.0.1e completely moves to use the new fb code and most of the old
cfb code is now removed from chips driver code.
I have checked the xStone and it shows great improvement, at least
in depth 16 where I tested both of 4.0.1c and 4.0.1d (4.0.1d was
broken and it does not work with/without "UseFB" option, so I can't
check the performance of it).

You can find 'xbench' which is the tool for this xStone bench-marking
from <ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/xbench/xbench.tar.gz>.
'xbench' and 'Xmark' is the two popular bench marking for X server,
or at least I was told so. The usage of xbench is described in README
file of that tar ball, and the usage of Xmark is described in Xmark
itself (which is a bourne shell script to summarize the result from
x11perf command).

I'm happy that I don't need to spend more days to find the solution :)
Thanks.
