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...?
That need not be the whole truth. Look also for ‘OpenGL renderer’ [1]
with command:
glxinfo | grep 'render'
or more verbose:
glxinfo | grep 'string:'
It may be worth to study the Xorg log file for something like:
- Direct rendering enabled/disabled
- 2D and 3D acceleration enabled/disabled
- reverting to software rendering
- Loaded and initialized swrast (swrast => software rasterizer)
- and so on ...
