Look at Tim's site: www.probo.com/timr/ I think that the support might be better in X4.2 but Branden hasn't gotten around to that yet for Debian. I don't know if Tim's driver for X4.2 is different for IX/MV than the one that is in X4.2 (which is one of Tim's). I need to be able to use apt-get and just installing X4.2 will work fine except that the first time you try to update apt-get will stomp on your X4.2 install if it is in /usr/X11R6. Also there are lots of dependencies for your installed Debian aps that won't be met. I asked Branden Robinson about what I could do to fix it and his answer was that he just followed Debian and seldom put any non-deb software in his system. He said that he only put that in /usr/local. I haven't time to figure out how to run XFree from /usr/local and I don't know if acceleration is possible on the IX/MV under GNU/Linux anyway. I can't run openCASCADE, or any of the 3d modeling aps on my laptop. I don't do games so that's not a problem for me. If you have any luck getting accelerated, please let me know.
