I'm on sarge with roughly similar hardware (athlon in my case). One thing - are you using the stock kernel or have you compiled your own? I currently have a 2.6.13 kernel I am running (compiled it myself) using the various mga stuff compiled in rather than as modules. I don't know if this makes a difference but in my situation it makes for better 3d on the Matrox card. 2.6.8-2 had troubles - mostly because of missing or unresolved symbols in some of the Matrox module objects. Still, I am tracking security updates just now, and am not yet upgrading to etch. On another note, I booted up the latest simply mepis and it runs 3d with dri enabled and no issues. And it of course is fast, especially with things like stellarium. But 3d worked with this kernel just fine prior to the upgrade. I have tried both stock xfree86 - and then xorg, which works well, but then I tried xfree86 xserver again. I've since gone back to xorg because many of the development bits are now xorg and I can't easily mix and match them without some serious breakage in development files, but that's another problem. What version are you using for xlibmesa-dri? That would seem to be the package that handles the matrox dri stuff. But there's no indication I can yet find how it determines that such and such a visual is slow, and if so, how can I avoid that without having to go into the application and reconfigure something. > -- > Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito > Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de > Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
