Yurgh. Oh well -- i have your stock 2.2.9 kernel working perfectly.
Ok sure, I could probably save 200k of non-swappable RAM by compiling
my own kernel.
I must say, X11 performance on my Ultra 5 (Rage-64) is rather
disappointing. Am I wrong in assuming that either a 64-bit X server,
or other misc. optimizations in the linux kernel etc etc. should
eventually lead to, um, I dunno, a 30% speed improvement? Or at least
better interactive performance? I note in particular that the X
server tends to really bog down under load...
