All fixed now. Just need an init script. glxgears FPS 272 which was
what I was aiming for on this piece of relic. I have to admit this
kernel 2.4.31 was recompiled very fat; and the difference in speed
between a previous very slimmed version is pretty imaginary. I can't
tell and I wouldn't know the best way to benchmark it anyway. Just
noticed Debian Gnome crawling versus fast KDE 3.4 Slackware whizzing
in this case.
