If you think that's choppy, you should see with X11 output... :)

Not really.  The bottleneck here is the video output.  X11 is slowest, SDL 
middle ground and XVideo the best.  Unfortunately, XVideo support is not 
there for all cards.  On my RH-7.1 box, running XFree86-4.0.3, my Voodoo3 has 
no XVideo support.  But on my Slack 8 box, running XFree86-4.10, the Voodoo3 
is supported.

So the best advice I can give is find out whoever's maintaining the TNT2 
cards over at XFree86, and ask him if XVideo support will be in the next 
XFree86 release.

> you have been a real help ! just wanted to thank you again.

No prob.  It's what the mailing list is for, right?  :)
