I have redraw problems (windows don't refresh when uncovered until moved) with
acceleration on, but not with accel off. However, it's dog-slow with it off.

True here too, but slightly different - it crashes if running through xdm and
logged in - but a logged out xdm is fine, as is a startx'ed session (or both
at once, on :0 :1) I haven't tried without accel in xdm... but either way is
stable if startx'ed.

Haven't tried this...

This was not a problem here in either case. I use 2 VT's with X and many with
shells, so I switch a lot.
