Let ask a better question. I've seen reference that say Xpmac requires special kernel options, can someone comment on this? Also, Xfree86Fbdev stuff that I get from the debian network install seems VERY slow, as if there is no accelleration at all. What's the status on performance in this arena? T

Hello, I noticed that in the PPC gnome-panel package, there's no cpumemusage applet. I figured there was some problem with libgtop on PPC. But when I built gnome-core from source (also 1.0.55-1), the applet built just fine and runs fine. (The first time I tried, configure said it couldn't find
