Chris,
After alot of fuss I did get my compaq R4000 working OK.
I had to put the latest kernel from kernel.org on it and recompile.
This fixed the SLOOWWW ness issue.
Finding ATI drivers fixed the display issues.
Personally I dont like the 1280x800 display. Too small more my taste.
I miss at least having 1600x1200 on my old dell insipron.
