I've tested LX5.03 - Xig's Accelerated X for laptops on my old Toshiba w/ Chips&Technologies chipsets. Being a poor student I tested it for a couple a hours, restarting X every 10 minutes (stupid time-limit in the demo). I've gotta say it blew me away. Running enlightenment went really smooth, for once. I've heard the performance-gain should be about 10% - on my machine that was exceeded by far. I guess the difference is more noticable in low-end machines. You should check it out for yourself. The demo is very easy to install and remove over Debian. Unfortunately $150+ is to steep for my wallet. Heikki --------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samfundet.no/heikkih/
