First hi to everyone, this is my first post.
I'm new to linux and I have a problem with 3d acceleration in Fedora Core 4 64bit.
My graphic card is ATI Radeon 9600XT and I have installed ATI linux driver and it works fine.
Problem starts when I try tu use Point2Play and cenega to start Call of Duty, it says that my drivers are not up to date. I tried to start C&C: Generals and it actualy worked but very slow and then I saw that it has no 3d acceleration, so I think that's why Call of Duty doesn't start either.
I used Point2Play system tests and in that test OpenGL passed but 3d accleration failed the test.
Can anyone help me, I'm working on this problem for the past 5 days and haven't come up with anything.
It was just so frustrating for me that I can't install the driver just double clicking on the rpm and than start conf utility.
Then go and buy a stress ball or three, maybe a big teddy bear to punch. Using linux will mean that often things won't just work after a quick double-click. There is never anything really hard to do and documentation is generally at a walkthrough standard but this isn't Windows and setup files as most are used to don't exist except for things like Autopackage.
