I had pretty much given up on getting X on my Mac9500, due to it's
8M ixmicro video card. Maybe in YDL2.x, probably 'til i pop for another
card. Forces me to use cli like a grown-up :-}. I use Macs for gui, Linux
for heavy lifting. Works for me...
Then i ran across this in the list achives;

Not accelerated? I could live w/not accelerated. But i don't know
how to un-accelerate. In the past if i *touched* X( configure, startx,
anything) Everything locked up tight. No virtual console to kill anything.
Nothing. Dead. Three fingure salute.
Is acceleration a matter of config? A module? Compiled in/out.
HOWTO's and man's don't seem to say (ok, no i haven't memorized them, but i
have looked).
