For what it's worth, I run ubuntu and had very bad (s3 or trident or something) onboard video, and 3d gaming was impossible. Even zsnes would only run at a usable speed if I used the lowest resolution (256x224) and then used ctrl alt KP+/KP- to make it bigger on my monitor. Well I found a free older radeon via craigslist and just using the 'ati' xorg driver (no binary stuff), everything is nice and smooth. -- Nick Welch | mack @ incise.org | http://incise.org
