Anyway, put this in your Device > section of xorg.conf: > > Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1" Is this only with NVidia's proprietaryware or does it apply across the board? I'm not getting glx due to a missing symbol that I've yet to track down (I tracked down a few others, but not that one) running xf86-video-ati (Radeon 9250, as I said). So I'm not getting it anyway. However, with the improvements of gcc 4.1 and my CFLAGS, plus the fact that I'm running a dual Opteron, speed is still slow but now tolerable, at least. CPU utilization is running 50-80% of one CPU, which would be unacceptable if that was all I had, but with the dual Opteron, as I said, it's at least tolerable now. I can probably do a bit more tweaking and get it a bit better, and if I can trace that glx missing symbol down as well, it should be fine. As for those screen shots, I had to go to work, which is why I couldn't do them at the time. However, I'm home again now, and will see about creating and posting them shortly. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
