That's why the *first* part of my response (I put it back after you elided it) is important! I don't do 3d stuff on my desktop, so I don't need it, and don't know much about it. A quick "man -k radeon" on my 6-STABLE system turns up the radeon(4x) page, which claims to support hardware 3d acceleration on several varieties of the Radeon 9600. This is part of the xorg port. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
