Re: [Newbie]S3 Savage 2000 questions

Dear Lionel and Newbie List:

Enclosed below is my XF86Config-4 file. I am not skilled in reading the file, but it does imply that there is acceleration is on. I am not apparently seeing it in action. Is there some simple way to debug or test the acceleration of the card? Thanks for the questions from this Linux newbie.

Sincerely,

Ray Schwartz
