and get a nice text display. If you do ne

Hi all--
I just set my laptop up with sid and unofficial X 4.2.0 debs. The
computer is a HP Omnibook 6100 with a 15-inch screen. I tried the VESA
driver first, and it acted as if it was on a 14-inch screen. Perfectly
visible and crisp display, just an annoying black border of dark
pixels.

What configuration requires more resourses (mostly RAM, also CPU),
X_SVGA (or similar) server or framebuffer + X_FBDEV server ?
What configuration is lighter, faster?

Hi
it could be that you are using a journalling filesystem like ext3 or
