[Newbie]S3 Savage 2000 questions

[Raymond Schwartz]

Hello Folks:   I have RedHat 7.2 and have installed the RPMs for XFree86 4.2.0.  My system is based on AMD K6/2-400 and runs reasonably well. I am using the savage driver and can use X11 without difficulties (now).  My questions relate to the "acceleration" aspect of the driver. What does that include?  Although this is not a world class video accelerator, it is ok for my needs.   When I try to use a program that requires acceleration, for example, a game called "chromium" included with the RH 7.2 distribution, it crawls, with no evidence of 3D acceleration what-so-ever.  Granted, I could live my life just fine without this game, I would still like to know what types of acceleration are supported, and/or what additional hoops I might have to jump through to enable it.   I thank you for your time and responses in advance.   Sincerely yours,     Raymond Schwartz   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
