Thanks for your response Frank but I hope that 512M of memory is enough.

I have a C&T 69000 chips for my video and I found on Xfree86.org that they 
have been rewritten drivers for this chips and they must be considered in 
work in progress. They encourage to use 3.3.6 version if we want stability. 
(unfortunately Xfree3.3.6 doesn't start on my machine).

However they give some advice :
advice                  my result
Disable Accel   -->     no effect
Disable MMIO    -->     Xserver doesn't start
reduce clock    -->     (I RTFM to learn how to do that).

Another option is to use Qt3 under Xphoton. 
All the examples compile fine but when I start one of them, all the widget 
drawing are mixed. (two Play button instead of one Play and one Quit in 
Tictactoe example) --> unusable.
I will try with QT2. (enough for my needs).

Thanks.
