Hi, before changing my system I took a look at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Hardware_3D_acceleration_guide Down the page there is a test, whohc on my system reports: glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: Yes GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, GL_NV_packed_float_linear, GL_NV_path_rendering, For me it reads like: Yes, you have hardware accelerated rendering. Or did I miss something...? Cheers Meino
