Arc,
How does one change that? Sorry to be such a noob.

This is the part you need to fix: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect If you can get it to use the radeonhd driver, even over standard GLX, it'll be accelerated. DRM speeds things up a bit by allowing the application to render directly through the kerner rather than sending rendering through the X server.

Arc Riley wrote: Since you're no longer under the warm and fuzzy management of your distro, it's possible something related to DRI may be disabled or lacking permissions. Also note you'll need the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) kernel module active. when glxinfo says that your direct rendering is enabled, you're golden.

After much breath holding / restarting of x, it appears the radeonhd driver is installed. Of course, it doesn't seem to change the results on glxgears. glxinfo looks different now. So on to configuring radeonhd... -Bruce _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org <mailto:gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org> http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
