imstt was definitely not working in the YDL1.2 days. On my 9500
(actually a PowerTowerPro) originally running 2KQ4, I kept manually
upgrading kernels and drivers and XFree and eventually the imstt
board actually started working in accelerated X. But it's still flaky
- I get this effect where moving anything on the screen slowly
"breaks up" the pixels into different colors that persist on the
screen.
It may well be that the versions of everything in YDL2.1 fix all this
- I haven't put YDL2.1 on the 9500 yet.
