The main problem with the linux client is most people's 3D cards are not
being hardware accelerated. I'm hoping Xfree4.0 will cure some of that. I
tried a commerical Xserver for my card (Diamond Stealth III S540 - Savage4
chipset) and I went from about .4fps (Yup, that's point-four fps) to
35-55fps (I think I mentioned this before. Oh well). I assume people with a
3dfx or a G400 would be lucky, since I *believe* those have hardware
accelerated Xservers.
On a side note, the new client does look great. Kudos to the devel
team.. =]
