One more question Dave. Can a 3D APP/Game refuse to run if hw acceleration is not available? I understand that without hw acceleration they will be extremely slow and unplayable but i want to know if its possible to run (all) 3D apps with s/w renderer.
Btw thanks for pointing out that i am looking at an old version of xserver. I am moving to the latest one. Thx -K On Mon, 2011-02-21 at 13:01 +1000, Dave Airlie wrote: > > > > a.
