AFAIK, the free driver has no real 3D support yet. But there's the Noveau project, which examines the proprietary driver's behaviour and collects information for driver development. > I don't care too much about performance (no desktop 3D effects or > composite are needed) and I'm not a game player.

Maybe a software renderer would work fine, but I didn't really tried to set it up yet. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
