X isn't all that bad. It just takes quite a while... As to what you can do; the main purpose of DRI is to allow you to run hardware-accelerated OpenGL programs, using your graphics card processor, instead of software-rendering using your main processor. Unless you're planning to run intensive OpenGL applications (such as Quake 2, Chromium etc), you probably won't see much improvement. -- Regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] My website: http://www.iain.thomas.dial.pipex.com/ XMMS not playing _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
