Hi folks, still I got 3D-acceleration NOT to work, better say, working bad. Acceleration is working, but still slow (yes, it is all activated and checked)
Now I found this advice: -------------- snip ---------- Broken MTRR Problem (3D Acceleration doesn't work) It seems Acer's BIOS doesn't properly report the amount of memory in the machine to the OS. This causes the Kernel to have the wrong MTRR information and 3D Acceleration to not work, even if the ATI drivers are installed properly. To fix this add the following to /etc/rc.local: # Broken /proc/mtrr fix so that graphics card works echo "disable=0" >| /proc/mtrr echo "disable=0" >| /proc/mtrr echo "base=0x00000000 size=0x40000000 type=write-back" >| /proc/mtrr Note that this is for machines with 1GB of RAM. If you have a different amount replace the number after size= with the relevant one from this list: 0x10000000 = 256 MB 0x20000000 = 512 MB 0x40000000 = 1024 MB 0x80000000 = 2048 MB Now reboot the machine and you should have 3D Acceleration working, test it by running glxgears - the number should be about 4,000 FPS. Be careful if you run these commands manually - you should be in runlevel 3 and even then it can cause strange behaviour until a reboot is done. ---------------- snap ---------------------------------- Seems to me like a hardware problem ! But what the hell is this "/etc/rc.local" on Debian-systems ? I cannot find it anywhere, due to its different achitecture. Can some specialist help me ? Thanks in advance !
