To hell with the kids ... what about us adults? The problem I have is that I have a 3dfx voodoo3 video card for which 3D acceleration is only available in the 1024x768 mode. For regular every day to day stuff I want to use 1600x1200 mode which works great without DRI for web surfiing, Email, etc. I have been suing as root to change the XF86Config-4 file to play tux and visa versa (I get ~ 1/100 fps without acceleration). There must be a better way to do this as a regular user. Suggestions?
