=============== Then I don't believe you got something setup correctly. I've got a 9600, 9200 & 7500 running xorg radeon drivers giving something like 2-3000 fps easily for 3D with glxgears! At least one of those is the 300 series you mention and I think the 9200 might be or a 280, don't remember. I've used the ATI drivers before, but with so little advantage it gives, I just don't go to all the trouble. YMMV The 9800 should be well supported as well by xorg. What version of xorg are you using presently? If it's 6.9 or older, the support won't be as good. regards, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
