I am a little confused by the results of various sources. linux:~ # fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 XT Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3.5395 (X4.3.0-8.18.6)
The ATI control panel says the same thing. But this says 3Ddiag 3Ddiag version 0.728 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ ================================================================ No 3D capable graphic chipset found! ================================================================ Checking GL/GLU/glut runtime configuration: GL/GLU ... done (package xorg-x11-Mesa) glut ... done (package freeglut) I can run glxgears 12656 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2531.200 FPS watch the gears go round, etc. I think I installed the ATI drivers correctly, it's been a week, so I can't remember everything I did, but part of it was fglrxconfig where I answered some questions. Not sure what they all meant. I installed gcc-c++ and xorg-x11-devel and now it gets this far linux:/usr/local/source/plib-1.8.4 # ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes includedir changed to ${prefix}/include/plib libdir is ${exec_prefix}/lib checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

I don't know if it should be. I know that ATI control panel reports ATI OpenGL is in use, at least I read it this way. freeglut is installed; but not devel.
