First thing: upgrade to a 2.4 kernel; that really boosts performance onPPC hardware. For your machine, a standard 2.4 kernel (kernel.org, for instance) will do.I will do this then. I originally didn't upgrade out of memoryconsiderations, but meanwhile the mem was upgraded from 32M to 96M, so Iguess it would be no problem.
Well, not only that (boosting the performance), but using a 2.4 kernel was a requisite for a PMac 9500/180MP that I had for a few months to recognize all the PCI slots that it had, while the 2.2 kernel wasn't able to see everything.
Among other things, this meant that I couldn't use X without changing how the cards are internally disposed with a 2.2 kernel, while with a 2.4 kernel things would just work.
I would suspect that the same thing would apply to your case. Hope this helps, Roger...
