Yves,

It's faster than the Macintosh Quadra 610 (another Linux victim) that
I'm typing on now :^) .

Could you please post your experience at getting X applications to work
now that you have X and a desktop?  I got basic gnome things to work
flawlessly, but failed on my 735/99 with xmms, xemacs, and galeon or
mozilla.


The CRX24 framebuffer also works at 8 bit color, a bit faster.  A minor
patch to one file in the kernel is needed (duplicating a few lines that
apply to another card's depth selection in the same file) and a kernel
boot argument is needed to (optionally) cause the kernel to start video
in 8 bit mode instead of the default 32.  

The hard drive I patched this on is recycled into another type of box,
but Helge Deller can guess what's needed just from this description.

-- regards, SP
