XFree68_FBDev has more features than Xpmac_mga and may be slightly faster,
but it is a tad bit harder to install. Xpmac_mga is a definate improvement
in speed, most users will be unable to tell speed differences from Xpmac_mga
and XFree68_FBDev, because they are in the same range of speeds.

You might try XFree68_FBDev, but be aware this X Server might require
several configurations to run on your machine.
