I'm continuing this thread, not to annoy everyone -- but in case there is someone like myself that just hasn't been willing to ask.

I changed it recently from 'ati' to 'r128' -- apparently it doesn't matter. (Thanks for clearing that part up) > You'll get XVideo acceleration, and you should also be Hmm.. I think perhaps I *do* have XVideo acceleration, but I'm not sure how to tell.

GL support, meaning 3d accel? Can you point me to where I might figure out how to do that "without too much trouble?" I thank you very much for your patience.
