You have to install and have working an X server before installing AcceleratedX. I've been using it for about 5 years on differant video cards and it works great. Don't know about the G400 on 5.x but I've got a G200 on 4.2 and it works much better then Xfree86. As for stability AcceleratedX has Xfree86 beat here also. I understand Xfree86 has got much better however. AX supports many more cards, it's money well spent!
