I am sorry for this irrelevant remark (I have been doing so many install/uninstall
I probably get a bit confused...)

Here are my comments:
it is fast, GREAT, HUGE ! it seems to work. I am enthusiastic !
By the way, I now have my answer about the video card of the TiBook 800MHz:
it works great ! It faster than on every machine I have ever used
(ordinary Linux boxes)
My investment in this laptop is now fully justified !!

I will test it more intensively. Before I could get it running,
I have also tried the Mesa version. It "seems" to crash OroborOSX
(but not standalone XDarwin...). Since I install/disinstall X/wm etc... all
the time, maybe I missed something. But unless I am forced to, I do not
think I will ever use the Mesa version again !

Thank a lot for providing us so great tools !
