Note that it isn't specific to ati, it's for *all* cards or vm's supported by Mesa. (Sorry for the "greengrocer's apostrophe" - didn't want anyone to think I was referring to VMS.) And in case anyone missed what started this - even a user NOT in the video group can use the Software Rasterizer (Mesa's swrast driver), but not hardware acceleration.

The link renders nicely this time, so I daren't change it, too much voodoo in docbook 8) The important stuff is the changes in xorg-config, changes in clutter (apart from the link), metacity, mutter, totem are really just minor rewording now that I understand the hw/sw acceleration a little more. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
