I've found Metro-X to be very unstable on my RedHat 4.0 system. I use and
Imagine 128 (4MB up to 1600x1200) with a Sony 17sfII monitor. I have a
Micron P166 with 32MB of RAM. I noticed that when I run programs like
Netscape and Arena the windows are not drawn correctly; when I scroll
blocks of white scroll outside of the main windows. The whole system will
lock up generally when I use the backspace key while in the URL entry
field in both Red Baron and Netscape.
I decided to do a test with the Accelerated X demo from Xinside.
Accelerated X works fine and I don't see any of the problems experienced
with Metro-X. Are there plans do fix Metro-X or should I just swithc to
Accelerated X. Overall I am happy with RedHat 4.0, but I need real support
for my Number Nine card, currently XFree does not support the I-128 in
accelerated mode.
