Yes, it was me and that solved the problem on my old radeon r200. If I'm reading Omar correctly, he hasn't said *what* video card he is using (nor which video driver). They are key to this. The 'R128' is what the book gives as an example. Perhaps we should suggest a different test, to be run from an xterm or similar. Neither of these will help diagnose Omar's problem, but we could use $glxinfo | grep renderer (software rendering means DRI, not DRI2), or just report on AIGLX $grep AIGLX /var/log/Xorg.0.log Wikipedia suggests that AIGLX depends on the xorg video driver - ati (radeon), intel (i810 and later) and nouveau should work, others might not. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
