- I'm using XFree86 on a 486/33 with Tseng et4000. It is really
- faster then X386, but still slow ( maybe because I normally use
- an Hp 720 workstation). What is very slow is xterm scrolling .
- I'm very intersted in getting an S3 card for the XS3 server, but i'd like
- to have some more information about performance increase.
-
- How much is the S3 card and server faster than Et4000 and XFree86 ?
- For Windows I know it is 10-20 time faster. Is the same for X ?
- Does xterm scroll in a reasonable way in XS3 ?
-
- Does every S3 based card work with XS3 ?
- Can anyone suggest me a fast and common S3 card for XS3 ?
-
- Thanks,
