Hi everyone!
how can I enable direct rendering DRI on fedora core 2?
I have an ATI radeon 8500 LE,
Should I use the redeon driver, or the r200 driver?
I edited my xorg.conf file is as below, but VMD and pymol tells me I
am still using indirect mesa rendering, and it is SLOW.
the ATI closed source driver doesn't work on the fedora 2.6 kernel so I
cant use that.
cheers
Dan

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name
of the

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option Xleds 1 2 3
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option XkbDisable
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option XkbModel pc102
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option XkbModel microsoft
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option XkbLayout de
# or:
# Option XkbLayout de
# Option XkbVariantnodeadkeys
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option XkbOptionsctrl:swapcaps
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option XkbOptionsctrl:nocaps
