Is my kernel too old? I don't think so (I assume that someone would have told you so already). You could check if the Xserver tries to load the direct rendering: % cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | grep -i dri What does this return on your machine? It is necessary that this file (XF86Config) contains something like: Load "dri" If it doesn't, then you ought to add it in /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "Module" of this file will then look like this: Section "Module" # This loads the DBE extension module. Load"dbe" # Double buffer extension # This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables # initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module. SubSection "extmod" Option"omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection # This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules Load"type1" Load"freetype" # This loads the GLX module Load "glx" Load "dri"<=== somewhere in section "Module" EndSection If adding this line doesn't help or if it was present already in XF86Config, then... you could have a look at the latest X log file - I assume it is /var/log/XFree86.0.log - and check for error messages related to DRI. What does your log file say? Cheers, Sylvain.

In your XF86Config-4 choose the "ati" driver, check if your "radeon" kernel module is loaded before launching X (needed for the DRM/DRI stuff) and, after starting X if the command "glxinfo" shows the line "direct rendering: Yes" you're running 3D HW acceleration... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not optimal display
Hi. I'm using Debian since 2 weeks, and so far I'm happy with it. But there's one problem. I have an ATI Radeon 9000 graphic card, and still when a GL screensaver (like Euphoria) appears, it's very slow. How do I ensure that my display is optimal for my graphic card. How can I install the latest ATI driver (which are rpm package). Do I need them? I don't know where the problem is... Can anyone help me? -- Jean-François Lefebvre École Polytechnique de Montréal Étudiant à la maîtrise génie énergétique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
