Recent version of Radeon and Radeon HD should be able to do 3D on RS690. I think Radeon 6.9.0 and RadeonHD 1.2.1 are recent enough. Mesa 7.0.3 is also enough, I think. What version is your xorg? It may be that it still needs the dri option in xorg.conf. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
