Regarding Martin's post #62: Forgive me if this is a dumb question, as I'm new around here -- you say there's a _hardware_ limitation with the i915/i945 cards and DRI at >2048. Why is it that WinXP can run DX9 quite satisfactorily on the same hardware? I'm running 2 monitors, 1900x1200 & 1600x1200, and playing around with dual-booting XP and Mint7. My XP extended desktop at 3520x1200 works beautifully. But when I boot up Mint7, using the latest kernel (2.6.31-rc6) and updated xorg-edgers drivers, I kiss acceleration goodbye above 2048. I'm trying really hard to make Mint my default environment at work, but I have to keep going back to XP because my second monitor, sitting blankly, is silently mocking me.
