[XFree86] Problems with 3-D gaming on Redhat 7.2

[Laura West]

Hello,

I would really appreciate assitance in configuring my PC to be able to play games that use 3-D graphics. When I try to play Tux Racer, the frame rate is extremely slow. My system is dual booted with Windows 98 SE, so I know it is capable of better performance. In terms of its performance doing other tasks ( like displaying webpages etc ), it is doing fine.

Here are the specifications on my PC:

1. It runs a K6 II -- 550 MHzprocessor on a EP-MVP4M motherboard. This motherboard uses an onboard Video and AGP
graphics card. The chipset is VIA VT8501 and the card is set to 64 MB, framerate 8 MB ( maximum ).

2. I am using Red Hat 7.2 and upgraded it to the latest kernel, along with the latest version of xfree86. Trident Cyberblade is the driver xfree86 chooses to be the best driver.

I have tried running it on various resolutions, but the framerate is still very sluggish and I'm wondering what I can do to improve the performance of my computer. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please let me know if you need any other information to solve the problem.

Laura
