I'd have thought at least some accelerated cards have O/S drivers, certainly my own Radeon driver is from Debian, and the acceleration works. I don't play games, so I don't know how well it works, but once I had discovered how to enable the acceleration I could see the Gnome3 desktop. I still threw it away in favour of something that needed fewer clicks to operate. This was a few years ago, by the way. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
