Hello. I posted in the software forum but I got people bragging about how better their card was then mine. -- Yeah, thanks, that really solved my problem jerk!! Heh

Anways, so... I have Wine-X and open up say Tribes 1 or Warcraft.

The framerate blows goats.... I'm on a Radeon 2 (i believe, i'd have to check...) and the graphics look great, but its so laggy that the mouse curser barely even responds in the games. (The games work great in software mode though, but any attempt at acceleration is slow)

Anyways, heres some info that may help....

Extra info if needed

see that direct rendering "no" there? that will explain everything. that means that hardware accel. w/ dri and opengl is not installed. can you go to /usr/X11R6/include and see if you have a directory named GL? list its contents at the forum. by the way, what is your specific video card model?

[root@Uberleet-Terminal include]# pwd
/usr/X11R6/include
[root@Uberleet-Terminal include]# ls
DPS Mrm uil X11 Xaw3d Xbae xf86Optrec.h xf86Parser.h Xlt Xm
[root@Uberleet-Terminal include]#

It's a ATI Radeon 7000 64mb

ok, the radeon 7000 doesnt have linux drivers, so youll have to improvise. can you see if you have mesa installed? try removing it and look at the dependencies, but dont actually remove it. tell me the dependencies first.

I don't know how to do that, can you explain?

(PS if all this for this card fails... will a geforce 2 mx 200/300 be able to pull it off? i have one of those too)

Any easy answers on this subject I have an AVR200 64mb and have tried Mandrake9.1 and RD9.Both load a bogus driver good for 2d only I tried using the DRI drivers in RD with no luck.In RD I tried the Gatos with the same results what am I missing.With the Gatos I downloaded and installed the ati.2: XFree86 4.3.0 driver.Will becoming adept at recompling one's kernel be the only answer?I'm typing this on win2k because I need my Q3 and NWN!Any tips would be appreciated.I do know this it's ATI's fault as they have passed the proverbeal buck on this one!My Tnt2 worked great in Mandrake 9.1 with the Nvidia drivers.
