For the record, I tried it out and it's slow as a dog compared to the
X-Inside server for the Millenium.. Otherwise, it was relatively stable
(only crashed about 3 time in a day) and performance was as good as a
typical Mach-64 card under XFree86. Still, if you have the cash, the
X-Inside server is a great buy!
