[opensuse] Radeon X1050 3D Acceleration HOWTO
hi folks, My latest machine adventure has led me to a new Radeon X1050 card--- which surprise is really an old RV370 chip--- like the X300, X550, X600. (I digress) So, the card works fine under normal ops... sax2 identified it correctly as an rv370, and loaded the radeon driver. The problem is -- no 3D acceleration. The 3D accelerate check box in sax2 is grayed out (cannot be selected)... and of course none of the 3D openSUSE games will play... the ones that require 3D that is. So, I've been doing some snooping around and wondering which path to go down first. Is 3D acceleration possible with the default ati radeon driver that ships with openSUSE 10.0? Are there some options I can select that make this work? Do I need to download the latest ATI proprietary driver from AMD/ATI? (looks like a PITA, but I'm game) TIA -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
