Well, the best I can say is: - Verify that 3D is working on this card with the open source driver (you don't have a choice of drivers anyway) - Check whether compiz-fusion works in Linux with this particular card and the open source driver. - If it does, find a suggested xorg.conf and compare it to yours. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, the article is right to the point that you will not install nvidia drivers on an ATI card ;) However as I understand 3D support in ATI is a hit and miss even in Linux (and ATI's proprietary driver is awful). The xorg.conf settings in the article have only been tested with nvidia, and may need some adjustment for other 3D capable cards. I've been told they don't work with Intel, but will investigate this on my eeePC soon. As for your ATI, a quick search shows that 3D with AIGLX is supported by the open source drivers in X300. I've found several xorg.conf samples, so it is probably a matter of doing a bit of research. If you do find the magic line that makes it work, I would be glad to hear about it and add it to the article.
