No. But all I displayed was fvwm2, a bunch of xterms and konquerror. I
moved windows around (solid move, "OpaqueMoveSize unlimited" in
fvwm2rc), resized them and got no errors.

The U10 with the Rage II is my firewall / router, NAT and VPN gate, DHCP
and netboot server... So this machine usually runs with serial consloe
in the machine room. Also I can't call 1152x864 at 16 bit depth that
usable. I am used to a SGI Octane with dual head 1280x1024 at 24 bpp so
I can't do more then a quick testing.=20

Sounds fine...

Who needs virtual console when X11 is working? ;-)

[the usual cvs update and build game...]
WOW! GREAT! Everything works!
U10 with Rage II and with Creator as well as the U1e Creator run X11
with acceleration.

Can't you do this for the SGI O2 (port-sgimips) too? ;-)
