Hello, I have a ALI based board and it does the some thing, but when I try to get run the evas test with hardware I get [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/evas/test$ ./evas_test @@Created GLX Context.. X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 145 () Serial number of failed request: 894 Current serial number in output stream: 894 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/evas/test$ and the evas_test_old onlu gets about 8.6 frames per second. I must have missed something or it is in the libraries, I have a funny feeling I need different ones to the utah ones that I triied to use when I first go the G400. Gordon.
