I have noticed some slow speed issues under X with my G3. It has the ATI Rage II card with 6MB SGRAM. Such as when I am playing Patience and win(not often :)), the screen lags on updating. What would be the best option, as faster G3(mine's the 266/512k) or a PCI video card like a Radeon? The problem with a PCI card would be the use of a PCI slot, which are all being used at the moment, but I could pull the 10/100 card if needed. Also, are the ComSlot II ethernet cards supported? I've never been able to get Linux to see mine.
I dont know what a ComSlot ethernet card is. According to google perhaps some tulip card. Did you verify that X uses the 'ati' instead of 'fbdev' driver? -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
