Ah, this may have changed. When 3.0.3 was out in beta, the
Metro X server was also beta. The Xfree beta drivers blew
it away in performance tests posted on Xfree's web page.
I know this because I was looking for an alternative to
Slackware for my home machine and looked into RedHat and
Debian both. When I asked Redhat about the Metro X server,
they said it was a beta server that had a lot of debug code
in it, thus the slow numbers. Do you know how the full
release performs?
By the way, I recieved your message and it looks like it
came from me! The X-Sender: has mike@mail.okinternet.net in
it but there is no "From" field (no colon). That's strange.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
