Hello, all. I just bought an Nvidia Verto TNT2-M64 with 32Mb based on the fact that the xfree86 nv driver supports the TNT2-M64 with full graphics acceleration. I did note that the driver man page says that it supports the "RIVA TNT2" whereas my video card package says "Verto TNT2" However, the output of lspci IDs the card as 00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (rev 15) And xfree also probes the card as a RIVA TNT2. My problem is that I don't seem to be getting hardware acceleration. Games like chromium and tuxracer are still unplayable, and it seems to make no speed difference whether I specify 'Option "NoAccel"' vs. 'Option "Accel"'. Anyone have any solutions? I would *really* like to avoid having to upgrade/change my kernel version and use the Nvidia drivers. Here are my specs: Redhat 8.0 on a 1.1Ghz AMD Duron with 192Mb SDRAM. kernel-2.4.18-26.8.0 $ rpm -qa | grep -i xfree XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-Xnest-4.2.0-72 XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-72 XFree86-devel-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-cyrillic-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.2.0-72 XFree86-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-9-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-2-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-Xvfb-4.2.0-72 XFree86-libs-4.2.0-72 XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-xauth-4.2.0-72 XFree86-twm-4.2.0-72 XFree86-doc-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-72 redhat-config-xfree86-0.6.7-1 XFree86-tools-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.2.0-72 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-xdm-4.2.0-72 XFree86-ISO8859-9-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 XFree86-xtrap-clients-4.2.0-72 Here's my XF86Config file: # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.
