Hmm.. Thank to your reply, I will try google earth. Can the google earth tell me this? tell me i have 3d accelerator, because i never use google earth before. And i also don't know what is the purpose for me to use it. How about you? you use it for whaT? Check your girl friends house? :P Anyway, Thanks yuor replies <div>On 10/24/06, Vincent Trouilliez <<a href="mailto:vincent.trouilliez@modulonet.fr"> vincent.trouilliez@modulonet.fr</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">smithveg <<a href="mailto:smithveg@gmail.com"> smithveg@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Finally, you come back again.

In Dapper I have to explicitly load the Radeon driver, but I just tried in Edgy, and indeed the 'ati' drivers works too. Don't worry... I think it's just that the 'ati' driver is a wrapper for all sorts of cards. It used to be that the radeon driver had to be called explicitly, but not anymore in Edgy as it happens. No big deal, just makes things easier ! :o) > This is what i see, I can not see any Radeon words. > -------------------------------------------------------- > veg@veg-desktop:~$ glxinfo | grep rendering > direct rendering: Yes That's normal ! ;-) glxinfo, as its name suggest, gives info about the GLX stuff, not about hardware details ! ;-) So that's normal, don't worry... > I really have a 3D acceleration install? YES !!!! :o) > I can't believe it, You can believe it ! ;-) > because my machine can not prove it to me, :) You mean, 3D stuff is slow ? Yes, as I told you in a previous message, the free driver is slow as hell, but it's still useable. I just tried Googleearth a minute ago to check that the ati/radeon driver was working... and it does work. Again, if you want fast 3D acceleration for 3D heavy games, you better change your video card altogether for something newer, with better/more efficient drivers. Ask people about what to chose, I am sure you will be flooded with advises and experiences ;-) -- Vince -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- smithveg
