I don't like to give consultation on non free software, but I'll try to help anyway - is the fglrx kernel module loaded? what does "dmesg" say when you try to load it if you do? > > Which I assume means that I have 2D speedup but no 3D speedup, > and indeed glgears doesn't run faster with this driver than without > it (about 500 fps). Yes, you have accel. 2D via MMIO. For Accel 3D you must have the cooperation of the kernel module. Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Codefidence.
