There was a GREAT article that explained the differences between the different 3D accel environments for Linux. The bottom line comes down to this. If you have 3D accel hardware, you should upgrade to the 2.2.18+ or the 2.4.x kernel to get your /dev/agpart and DRM support for your specific video card. Then use XFree86 v4.0.1 or greater to get your DRI support. Quake III plays just as fast in Linux for me as it does in Windows now with this setup on my VooDoo-III 3000 AGP. The cool 3D screensavers actually run at a normal speed, too! ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
