it is actually 1.5. i greped for "1284" in the kernel source in order to
change it to "1280" but I couldn't find that string. Will grepping for
"1280"
in the X sources be more fruitile? any further ideas?

[32MB memory is not that much, but even when not swapping it's very
slow]

Compiling programms and accessing the disk is very very slow, so I have
been very suprised that this computer can actually decode mp3s with just
~30%
CPU usage.
