I tried that, but it didn't seem to have any problems. Anyway, here is the output: Direct Rendering Infrastructure testing program Checking your system....... Your config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config Your module path is /usr/X11R6/lib/modules SUCCESS - You are running in Direct Rendering Mode No errors have occurred DDX Driver version is 1.0.0 DRI Driver version is 4.0.0 KERNEL Driver version is 1.0.0 GL Driver version is Mesa DRI Voodoo3 20010501 x86/MMX/3DNow! 1.2 Mesa 3.4.2 Also, my screen seemed to change a gamma setting or something when I ran that program, but I guess that's normal? Well, I still haven't got any better performance, and I've seen some nice framerates on the NVidia cards, so... So, is this the drivers fault? Are they too bad? Should I joust wait for an update? ----- yhata _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
