I have a ThinkPad 2626-50u 390 model running the NeoMagic 2200 chipset, and this server supports it. The question is that is seems linux-centric, and I've never had the want to ever install linux apps on this system, so I'd like to ask ppl for their opinions. I'm trying to see if this X server is going to perform better than the svga server that comes stock w/ XFree86 (btw, the precisioninsight server isn't xfree86 compliant, so would that have reprecusions?). They have a libc5 and a glibc version... what would I have to do to unpackage the RPM and install either the libc5 or glibc libraries? Any good url's on this topic would be appreciated.
