No, the XFree86 driver is definitely accelerated both 2D and 3D for all G-series. But if you have lost 3D acceleration, that is a more complicated issue than 2D (desktop) acceleration. 2D acceleration should be enabled on any screen that is using the 'mga' driver. Make sure you are not using a framebuffer or vesa driver by accident, because those will be unaccelerated. -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
