HI,

I think old boxes have their right to be alive. ^_^ So please help me
with my old 3DLab Permedia II card ( Creative Extreame).

I setup RH9 automatically, and don't know how to customize the X and
drivers. I remember that, year ago when I tried on FreeBSD, there was
various X executions or drivers for various card, one was the X3dlab or
something for my Permedia II card. is there one in RH9??

And, the GUI seems a bit slow in my box, at least, it's slower than WIN,
so is there an option to set hardware accelerating for X or Gnome? 

And, how to set hardware accelerating for OpenGL? I run a 3d game, it
uses Mesa as driver but it's very sloooooooooooooow. My card is that
slow, it must used software driver and didnot dig out all my card's
performance, how to make my card work?

I'm not greedy, but just want to my old box perform better, she is my
old friend. ^_^
