   I stand corrected.  Perhaps it was a limitation in the X server that 
wouldn't drive them so high.

   I seem to recall there being an architectural aspect of the GX 
processor that limits its use for X acceleration...something to do with 
the GX's polygon model differing too much from X's polygon model or 
something like that?  Can anyone comment on that?
