I'm not so convinced. I ran Utah-glx on my G200 card and never saw any of the promised speed increase.

I think there is more support for the G200/G400 in 4.x. I noticed an actual speed increase in both 2D and 3D when I upgraded, although the 3D increase may be due to the more efficent 2D. I'm not sure if the 3D acceleration ever worked under X. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
