You've probably meant "3D acceleration" here, since OpenGL is merely an API (and you need implementation also, such as Mesa), whether or not it operates in software more, or uses hardware acceleration, this is the main question ;-). Under X4, it is most commonly known as Direct Rendering (DR) Infrastructure (DRI). To check it, issue glxinfo(1) command, if you see something like this: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 then you have DRI (and thus can play Quake with good FPS). Alternatively, examine your /var/log/XFree86.0.log, particularly for the line similar to (II) R128(0): Acceleration enabled -- HTH, ./danfe _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
