Maybe ... I just got my SiS 6326 video card configured and it only works with the no_accel option :-(. Some things, like gnumeric, scroll just fine. gvim, however, is quite sluggish when scrolling. I have access to a 'doze box with XWin32 so I tried gvim xhosted to the 'doze box and it behaved just fine. Maybe X4 will work better... -D
