Hello. Just a curiosity... On a 9.0/i386 box I have: > #pciconf -lv > ... > vgapci0@pci0:1:5:0: class=0x030000 card=0x17041565 chip=0x97101002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' > device = 'RS880 [Radeon HD 4200]' > class = display > subclass = VGA > %glxinfo |grep -i render > IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 2 0 > direct rendering: Yes > OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RS880 9710) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL Some 3D programs work, others are too slow. Recently I got: >Your system supports OpenGL version "1.2 Mesa 7.6.1..." AFAICT my card should provide a much higher OpenGL version and the radeon driver should cope. Why this 1.2? I tried looking around, but I tend to get completely lost in the maze when I get to investigate the X.org driver and the ATI chipsets... bye & Thanks av.
