I was wondering what comments I need to put in the xorg.conf file to enable 3D accelaration for an old ATi Rage Turbo. Code: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "accel" # [<bool>] #Option "crt_display" # [<bool>] #Option "composite_sync" # [<bool>] #Option "hw_cursor" # [<bool>] #Option "linear" # [<bool>] #Option "mmio_cache" # [<bool>] #Option "test_mmio_cache" # [<bool>] #Option "panel_display" # [<bool>] #Option "probe_clocks" # [<bool>] #Option "reference_clock" # <freq> #Option "shadow_fb" # [<bool>] #Option "sw_cursor" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X" ChipSet "ati" ChipId 0x4742 ChipRev 0x5c BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection The 'accel' option is there but I don't know what the syntax is to activate it. Any ideas?
Guess it depends primarily on your distro; whether or not you have the modules already. What distro are you running?
This is for my computer running VectorLinux 5.1 std. I am using the drivers/modules that were installed by default. I haven't added anything myself. The card has been detected and installed properly as I am not using the Vesa driver. Do you know if the open source ATi drivers (which i'll presume i am using) are 3D accelerated? I can watch 3D screensavers, so maybe I have acceleration already? My head hurts....
