Well, I'm afraid I can't help you with 4.2.0, but I have one of these video cards and it works great under 3.3.6 and 8.2 rc1. Hardware accelleration works just fine, and it's much faster under 3.3.6 than 4.2.0 (to the tune of 2 to 3 times faster).
I've looked around in the past and have yet to find any way of improving performance under 4.x. Well, aside from buying a new card... When you did your install were you presented with a screen that gave you choices for which version of X you wanted to install? I always do an expert install, so I get a screen that has 3 choices; 3.3.6, 3.3.6 with hardware accelleration, and 4.x. Choose the hardware accelleration, and you should see much better performance under 3.3.6 thant 4.2.0. Of course, that also means you can't play Tuxracer, as the rpms provided with the distro require libraries from 4.x. Best of luck, and if you find a way to get better than 100 fps under 'gears' in 4.2.0, let me know. (For comparison, I get 300 - 350+ fps under 3.3.6) HTH, Wayne At 10:56 AM 3/21/2002 +0100, you wrote: >Hi all >Yesterday I installed LM 8.2, and I have a problem with my graphics card >ATI XPERT XL (Match64).
