Why should I switch to another X Server? you can tell it by running it. besides, if your X works just great (tm) -- you don't have a need to switch over, am I right ? I tested XFREE with my diamond SSPRO as well as the demo from X-inside and I can tell the difference. The first one is awfully slow compared to X-inside's server. Also, the setup with X-inside is much better. If you really want to answer your question yourself, try to get the demo at xinside.com. -- Roeland Th. Jansen <bengel@xs4all.nl> (2:2802/105.1)
