Very Computer

Hello Linux people,

I have a notebook using the * 9397 chip from Trident and a desktop
PC using S3Virge graphics card, both with 4MByte graphics memory. Both
systems run SuSE Linux 5.3 and the new XF86_SVGA (3.3.3), as binary
distributed by the XFree-project.

On both systems the server performs really bad. Two examples:

1) If I drag windows on a KDE desktop it takes a seconds that
   window follows the mouse / touchpad cursor. I use transparent mode
   for dragging windows

2) If I logout out under KDE it takes seconds until the display is
   shaded out and the confirmation window appears.

Both 1) and  2) work with an instantaneous feel if I run my desktop system
using XF86_S3V (which has other problems, though).

I know the acceleration code for the * 9397 has been disabled
hardcoded in contrast to what is said in the docs, but has the
acceleration also been disabled for the S3Virge?

And are there precompiled servers where the acceleration has not been
disabled? I assume it's not much fun to compile an X-server.

Thanks and best regards,

-Rainer
