cheers everyone. glxgears now at 330+ fps . bring it on! i can finally regain some pride in bzflag :)
All i had to do in the end was compile r128 DRM as a kernel module and get a decent XF86Config-4 file. I still have a problem though - my display is now stuck at 1024x768. How can i make it display at 1152x768? the console is at 1152x768 but it goes to 1024x768 when i startx. I think i have the correct lines in XF86Config-4: e.g. SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x768" EndSubSection i also have this Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" HorizSync 28-49 VertRefresh 43-72 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1152x768" 78.741 1152 1173 1269 1440 768 769 772 800 +HSync +VSync EndSection in the "monitor" section, but no joy (well apart from seeing the gears spinning stupidly fast) Any ideas? cheers matthew
