I had the same problem with my ATI Radeon SDR. Either pretty fast 2D and no 3D-accel *or* sluggish (read as: you-can-watch-while-it-renders) 2D with decent 3D. The solution was a new DRI/DRM kernel module directly from http://dri.sourceforge.net/. I changed *nothing* of my XFree-4.1.0 installation, just dropped in the new kernel module. And *bang* -- pretty fast 2D *and* 3D. Although this was on FreeBSD, most of the code for the kernel module is shared between Linux and FreeBSD, so a newer kernel module should also be applicable for you. -Bj�rn Fischer -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS d--(+) s++: a- C+++(-) UB++++OSI++++$ P+++(-) L---(++) !E W- N+ o>+ K- !w !O !M !V PS++ PE- PGP++ t+++ !5 X++ tv- b+++ D++ G e+ h-- y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
