Xi Graphics is the best display server out for Linux. Hands down.
The Matrox Millenium II w/16 megs I ran was solid under AcceleratedX.
As SuSE develops the Millenium II updates, it will be better for XFree86,
but it's tough to even even compare it to AcceleratedX. Also, I find the tech support
very good at Xi, if you give them a chance.
