Have I got this right? I thought that you need, to run an ATi rage pro, X
4.01, as the driver in 3.3.8 or whatever it is doesn't take advantage of the
acceleration, and the 2.2.17+ kernel.
I suppose without a concrete benchmark you have to judge for yourself
whether the windows are scrolling faster or not. I used to run the iMac
without acceleration (the ATi drivers were screwy) and it was fairly obvious, I
thought.
