Well its like the Redhat guy said he's disabled the DRI for desktop resolutions above 1024x768 so you might want to download and compile XFree86's official source for 4.2.0 because I have done a bit of weekend testing and Quake was fragging all through the night with it at 1280x1024 (@20fps) with a desktop resolution of 1280x1024 so Redhat must have broken their setup with one of their patches. I'll continue testing through the week with Wolfenstein. Michael. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
