What differences are you talking about?  Direct rendering and AIGLX
should work however AIGLX needs the latest version of the savage DDX
to fix the locking.  The T23s use the Supersavage chips which
unfortunately, we know the least about.  3D has still be reported to
work fine on them however.  If you are trying to run compiz or beryl,
you're out of luck until one of them adds support for power of two
textures.  None of the savage hardware supports NPOT textures.
