I've the same configuration. I tried using glint instead of the
framebuffer (they had told me it should be faster then the fb), but when
I launched startx using the glint instead of the fb I received only a
lot of "unresolved symbol" errors. I have no time and I don't know how
to compile the right kernel for Amiga, so I returned to the fb.

I add my question: how fast your AmigaLinux is? I've a 4gb UWSCSI IBM
HDD, but I don't see any difference between it and the IDE. The programs
are very slow to start up and I find that 96mb of ram are not enough for
a smooth use of Linux, without X and very few daemons launched I have
30mb of free ram only, and when I start X (I use xfce) Linux start
swapping. Has anyone some suggestions?

Thanks, Pietro.=20
