What platform are you running on. From your message, it would appear to be using Mesa for hardware rendering which is not a hardware mode but a very optimized software rendering. In order to get true hardware, your going to need hardware OpenGL drivers, etc. What OS, etc are you on? What video card do you have?

Hi Cracks,

When I switch Image->Options->Rendering Options->Rendering Mode to
Hardware, I get a message

No default configuration 'mesa3.2' in init file

in the message window.

I have the feeling the display is slighlty quicker in Hardware mode, but
not as impressive as I was hoping for.

Could anyone give me a hint on
- how to check that I am actually using hardware acceleration
- and/or how to read the message above: is it an error?

Many thanks in advance,

Hans
