My 4meg ATI Graphics Pro Turbo smokes under Accelerated-X and =
is no way as good under MetroX.

anyone would want CDE though- it's a pain in the a* to work with, IMO).

Not true, we run it under XFree right now. And depending on your level
of linux/unix knowledge, Accelerated-X CDE is one sweet deal.
I have seen Mosaic, Ishmail, XEmacs, XMCD, XMMIX, TkNet, ApplixWare,
LyX, NEDIT, Axene, etc., etc., all working just fine under CDE.
Of course with any high end motif widgets, CDE is needs a min of
32megs in my opinion.
<Excerpt>PS: If you want a commercial accelerated X-server (which are
money
well spent if you got a fast card), go for AcceleratedX. MetroX is
buggy as h* (e.g. it's completely unusable with #9 Imagine 128).

Amen. Only the experienced walk with a limp.
