My driver is the 3Dfx Voodoo 3 driver in the Xfree86 4.1.0 that comes
with Woody (using 2.4.18 kernel) - do you know whether one of the
later (4.2.x | 4.3.x) unofficial Xfrees for Woody would be a
significantly better bet ?

One problem I notice is that the main Quanta editing pane sometimes
gets stuck in "preview" (embedded KHTML I guess) mode, no matter what
I do with the preview toggle button on the toolbar. I have to restart
Quanta to get back to HTML source code view.
I've just installed Gnome's BlueFish to compare, and it certainly
seems quite a bit faster (and the built-in HTML/SSI/PHP online
reference is nice), but I prefer Quanta's looknfeel.
