I have the Accelerated-X server and it works very well this the
Millennium. Installation was very easy,much easier than XFree.
However, its costs about $100 US plus shipping. I ordered it directly
from the US company that produces it, X Inside.

To my knowledge there is no shop in Australia that sells the 
commercial X servers. If you want to walk into a shop and buy an
X server than you should probably get Red Hat 3.0.3 wit Metro-X

I've had no problems with Accelerated-X and they have reponded
promptly to all my email questions.
