Hey, I'm just starting into the world of linux and I'm loving it. In fact, I've hooked several friends on it too.
It took me a while but I recently got my SUSE Linux 9.1 Pro install all figured out with my sound, 3d acceleration and everything working. I was pretty content with my achievement.
However, 3 days ago I took out the Radeon 9800 Pro and put in a 9700 Pro. Of course I had to reinstall the ATi fgl drivers and whatnot and got it all working. After restarting the x server, I typed fglrxinfo as per ATi's request and got ATi Technologies device so it seemed like it worked. However, under SUSE's control center video settings it still says 3D Acceleration is not enabled. It seems like 3D acceleration is enabled though as I tried an OpenGL game and it seemed to work fine and it didn't give me the No Hardware Acceleration Detected message.
I'm just wondering if I should care about what the control center says and if 3d acceleration is actually working.
Thanks.
