Yes, the CVS drivers are faster (AIUI). The difference (empirically) appears to be more noticeable on machines which have slow CPUs, and hence tend to be CPU bound (like mine which is a K6-2 500, which has very poor FP performance compared to a PII of similar speed). Note that Mercury has made apt-able DRI cvs debs of X; these were announced to this list as well as debian-x, and I'm using them successfully here. Jules
