YMMV. current, late March, 233MHz Pentium Pro, 8M Millennium II Xaccel 4.1, 1280x1024x32bpp - sometimes ~1900rpm, sometimes ~2030rpm I've got a number of patches to Accelerated X 4.1 applied. If indeed you only have 4.01, you might want to upgrade to 4.1 and get the patches. The description for patch 22 says that it increases performance for the Millennium II. I'm not sure about the color depth, it's either 24 or 32bpp. In the Accelerated X setup thing, I've got the colors set to "16M, Overlays" as opposed to "16M, Packed". So I assume that's probably 32bpp. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
