a XF86Config file for my Dell Inspiron that supports 3D Hardware Accleration
PHP Code:
# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64
# I128, and S3V)
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "ATI|3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

I got pretty excited when I seen this today from the Dell support site concerning Linux hardware acceration for my ATI card.... however it's for the XF86Config format.... when I make a stab at it with my xorg.conf file, it comes back and says it never heard of anything called "accel" ?
What's going on ?
Also the format is slightly different on xorg.conf, here's my best guess as to where it goes:
the xorg.conf file from my Slackware
PHP Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ati rage mobility"
Driver "ati"
VideoRam 8192
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
The
"ati" I simply replaced with
"accel" but no go....
there seems to be some fundamental differences between XF86Config and xorg.conf and you can see it in the two listings, one has the
Driver spec under the
"Screen" section, the other has it under the
"Device" section... i' having trouble figuring it out...
any suggestions....
i'm so close to having 3d hardware acceleration on my dell laptop, i can
see it happening....
