Hi Arc,
I tried changing xorg.conf to "radeonhd". That hosed things up. I built radeonhd from the instructions on wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd If I use the following: #system-config-display --noui --set-driver=radeonhd Is that going to be ok? Thanks!

Before you run the above command, make a backup of your existing config file: cd /etc/X11 cp xorg.conf intel.xorg.conf Then, if you need to revert, copy the backup over the newly damaged file: cd /etc/X11 cp intel.xorg.conf xorg.conf -- Ben _______________________________________________ [Labitt, Bruce] Thanks Ben. I'm now running on the radeon x1650 with dvi on my monitor. Perhaps this question is more to Arc. I still am having some trouble getting going. I'm not quite sure what to try next. I tried downloading driconf-0.9.1 to "configure" my 3d stuff. When I run it I get unknown chip id 0x71c1, can't guess. libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs. libGL error: InitDriver failed libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering Sounds like I still need to configure stuff... Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also tried playing with gluplot which supposedly uses opengl for rendering. I have no idea what format for the data files are required. Anyone play with that? -Bruce _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
