I recently replaced my Matrox Mystique 220 and VoodooII card with an ATI
Radeon 32MB DDR AGP card. It appears to be setup properly (X works fine, I
have nice screen resolution, bootup messages indicate the Radeon is
recognized) but I don't seem to get hardware opengl acceleration.
I have Mesa-3.4.1 installed on a nearly MD 8.0beta system. I have
XFree86-4.0.2 and kernel-2.4.1. I also have the game "Terminus" which is
supposed to support ATI video cards in linux including the Radeon. When I
start it, it uses software opengl rendering. If I use the Mesa demos, they
are all software rendered too (shouldn't they BE ABLE to use hardware?).
I guess I need to know , 1) how do I confirm whether or not DRI is enabled in
XFree? Bootup indicates "acceleration enabled" which I have taken to mean
hardware acceleration is enabled, and 2) how do I get hardware true hardware
acceleration with my Radeon?
