Some of the bitblt operations are about 5 times faster than SunWorkstation IPX. I did a simple test using xgc and got .8 seconds on my system and on my SunWorkstation IPX I got 2.8 seconds. > >Thank you very much.

The S3 cards are notorious for having different ways to set the dot clocks. Hopefully, my algorithm should hold for non-programmable clock synthetizers. Folks, I have tested the server with Orchid's Farenheit 1280 and Actix's GraphicsEngine. THERE IS NO diamond stealth SUPPORT! Please take your card back to the dealer and get one of the above mentioned cards. For your near future, make sure that you buy your card from a dealer which allows you to upgrade the card. The 928 is coming soon before Christmas, but I wouldn't hold my breath till I or a developer for a XS3 has certified a 928 card. I bought 3 cards spoke to vga manufactures for about 1.5 months before I could release my server. Don't not be concerned about the slow or crawling text performance. When I get the font cache working it will be blindly fast. For instance, for those who have the server running text will be as fast as you can move the windows around in the screen. Enjoy, Amancio
