There is no hardware accelerated 3D driver available for this card for 
Linux.  The game runs slowly because it is using software rendering.

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

2003-01-29 Thread lwest54
Is there any workaround for this?  I am willing to turn off my onboard video card and 
get another one that is Linux supported.   It would have to be a PCI card.  What may 
complicate things is that the motherboard has an on-board AGPSo I'm not sure how 
that will work...There is no AGP slot on my motherboard.  

Any insights?

See http://dri.sourceforge.net/other/dri_driver_features.html for a list 
of the cards currently supported by the open-source OpenGL drivers. 
Nvida, ATI, and PowerVR also make closed-source drivers.  I believe just 
about every card that has either open-source or closed-source drivers 
comes in a PCI version.
