required a DRI section in XF86Config and and emerge xfree-drm after a kernel rebuild.
but pretty mechanical now.
1200 odd fps in GLXgears IIRC

i've been considering doing something like this myself but was stalled
wondering about the GeForce card(s) - as in don't they use an nvidia
chipset& doesn't this present problems/hassles for linux users who
want to get full use of the card(3D acceleration wise)?
excellent linux suport.

i was referring to the hassles of actually getting the things to run. i'd deliberatly not made any mention to or about anything to do with closed
or opensource.
and the thing is that linux users do have problems with that chipset, just as they consistently have problems with some harddrives, some ram, & some
motherboards.
regardless the fact remains that after spending several times several hours looking into this i am still unable to decide whether it'd be worthwhile forking out ~$100 for a geforce4 given that i may not be any the better off graphiclly than i am now. why? because no where out there is there any kind of consensus on how to get the best from these cards in an easy 1 2 3 kind of way.
I have a lot of time
i wish i did :(

sounds pretty positive to me. anyone got anything better in the 3d graphics line?
well actully i was also looking at the ati radeon since the dri guys seem to have got just about everything working for those cards, up to and including the 9200 i think. and blessedly there seems to be little confusion(in my mind) about getting them to run so i may end up using one of these yet. has anyone heard much of anything about these?
cheers peter
