Hmm - it's quite obvious now that I'm not using any acceleration. Observe
(any typo's are mine - my machine is not net connection so I'm typing this
onto my laptop):
$ glxinfo
Loading Required GL Library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
gd error (glide): gd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTgd Error
(glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTSegment fault (core dumped)
Not exactly what I'd call a good error message!
I'll go and have a dig through my log files...

If you are using the MDK 8.0, then just try 'glxinfo' and see if
your
direct rendering enabled. If it isn't try to read
'/var/lox/XFree86.0.log'
and look for some errors. Anyway, if the DRI is enabled , try the
'gears'
You should see 2 gears spinning in 3d and in the command prompt
where you've run the command you should see the rate.

Subject: [newbie] Anyone using an Xfree86 4.01 with a Voodoo 4?
I see many people using V3's, but rarely anyone using a V4 (mine's a
V4,
4500, AGP).
What I'd like to know is "do I have my XF86Config-4 files set up
correctly
to use the V4's acceleration facilities"!
I saw people talking about Chromium, which I'd forgotten all about.
Installed it, fired it up and watched the "attract screen" with the
spinning
chromium logo render at the almighty speed of 8 frames in 10 seconds
(yes, I
timed it).
I suspect my Voodoo card is doing nowt but display the screen and
all my
rendering is done by software, but I'm not really sure what to
check. BZFlag
is the same.
I run at 1280*1024, 16 bpp. Running the gears demo I get 100+ fps at
the
standard size the window opens at. Full screen sees about 9 fps. Is
assume
this is crappy, but never having seen anyone else's set-up I don't
know what
to expect (this is all on a Dual Celeron SMP machine, 500 MHz).
Any Xfree experts out there who can help me out?
