The only redraw problems I have noticed have been some little things
with netscape. That was with 3.3.6 and Enlightenment/Gnome.

The '99 PowerBooks use Rage 64. FBDev is a server that includes support
for Mach64, among other things. I don't think there is a server
specifically for Mach64, at least not under Mac; as I understand it,
FBDev and Xpmac are the only choices.
