Re: X Acceleration That Finally Works
Hi, I have i915GM GPU on a laptop. I am using Debian unstable (sid). Sauerbraten, scorched3d games start with 3D acceleration working, but always hang after few minutes. I didn't want to fix them, but maybe there are OpenGL settings that can prevent these hangs. - Moshe. Oron Peled wrote: On Tuesday, 5 בFebruary 2008, Amos Shapira wrote: ...

X Acceleration That Finally Works
Hi all, I haven't got around to visit Linux.Conf.Au this year but just noticed the lecture title in the subject which might interest some people in light of Ira's(?) question about X11 access (doesn't look like a ready made solution but anyway). http://linux.conf.au/programme/detail?TalkID=167 Cheers, --Amos
