Hi all, I just installed SuSE 6.0 on my workstation at my job :-). Works great, no problems, but.... The box has an STB Nitro 3D graphics card, 2MB RAM on board, and I've noticed that manipulating windows is about 1/4 as fast as my putzy old 486, running 5.2, with a Diamond Stealth VLB 2000 graphics card (S3 Trio 64+, 2MB RAM). My workstation is a no- name clone PII 200, 96 MB RAM. Is this just the nature of this card, or is something screwed up? Please consider that my 486 has a pretty tight 2.0.36 kernel, while I haven't had time to rebuild the Pentium II kernel yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am also using an STB Nitro 3D, but I have the 4 MB version. Mine works fine with the SVGA server. If your using the S3V server, you might want to consider changing. I am also running it at 16-bit color. What color depth are you running? Steve On 28-Feb-99 Dennis Soper wrote:
