hello, I recently upgraded X to 4.2.0 from 4.1. I am trying to find out how to turn the hardware acceleration back on. I am assuming that it was on originally b/c some of my more graphically intense programs worked well before but now they run very slowly. I have a ATI radeon DDR AGP card. I searched the xfree site for 'hardware acceleration' and 'ATI radeon' and found some FAQs and old posts. one of the FAQs mentioned libGL.so and said that it needs to be linked in order for the hardware acceleration to actually work. I upgraded X using the package manager in mandrake 8.1. does anyone know whether or not the library linkage problem applies to my situation? if it does apply, how do I proceed? if it doesn't apply, what should I check next? I've looked at various graphical config utils, and none of them mentions anything about hardware acceleration. and of the posts that I found, they were from the Xperts list. they were long on q's and short on answers. thanks, cyndi _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
