On that config (k6-2 350, riva 124) svgalib is the fastest,
xv wouldn't start at all, so as vidix (no nvidia riva 
support).
It is true that vidix and xv is the fastest, but just with
recent graphic cards (I think).
But this is no problem, because svgalib supports nvidia,
rage, savage, etc very well, and if you has more recent
card, you can use xv or vidix.

Has anybody any other opinions?
(I would be happy if I could speed up more that config...)
