[ydl-gen] Slow ibook X11 (2D)

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks, Derick. Yes, I am well aware of Ubuntu's lack of support of  
PPC.  In my opinion, the Ubuntu community effort more than makes up  
for this. In the process of installing the OS yesterday, I had a  
number of problems and found (by several Google searches) an answer  
for every problem in a matter of minutes. The various Ubuntu forums  
for PPC seem to have several orders of magnitude more members than  
the YDL forums. Also, the Debian repositories seem much more complete  
than the default yum repositories. I wanted to install wmaker, and  
did it quickly and immediately using apt-get in Ubuntu. When I tried  
it using YUM (in YDL), I got no hits. Actually, this is what "fed me  
up" and I was expecting no video acceleration when I installed Ubuntu  
- I was delighted to be wrong in this when the OS  came up. As a PPC  
partisan, I have always  hoped that YDL would have parity with Ubuntu  
in these areas, but life is short...

cheers,
wn
