- Yes! The PC linux I saw was never ever doing any movement near to

- I never ever have seen any other computer (hp, sgi(whoa!), pc)
- doing virtual screen/opaque move near to something like 50Hz

- The X3.something you refer to must do some real hard hacks on
- PC if it should work 70Hz (but then serial mice are reported
- to be too slow for that!)

- For the case it really does, tell me, my friend surely will
- be interested. But I doubt it's reality.
