Hi, everyone, the ongoing battle of the graphics cards. My "good" read high speed full development system runs well. However I want to use an older system with Croquet. Problem: the older system appears misconficured somehow. It has an ATI Rage Pro graphics chip set according to lspci, And the graphics configuration for X sets it up as a Rage board OK. I have attempted to down load the latest ATI driver for it, but unsuccessfully, so I suspect I will have to attempt that late tonight when there is less traffic. In the mean time, I am working to discover what I can about the current setup that is bad. I went throght the configuration on Finley's site, and it appeared to work OK, then when I rebooted, it began to reconfigure the graphics on every reboot. And I still have low performance, and moreover seem to have lost a bit of software from the graphics interface. Here is the output from glxgears: [lesh@localhost ~]$ glxgears Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 541 frames in 6.1 seconds = 89.342 FPS 452 frames in 5.6 seconds = 80.584 FPS What is really weird is that when glxgears first starts up, the gears rotate like all getout, then slow down and then the printout comes out. Note the extension missing. I have tried "yum whatprovides XFree86-DRI" with no results shown. I suspect that this is from the DRIES repo, but don't want to load from there until I can get some more information. Meanwhile, here is the lspci results: -bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier -bash: export: `1': not a valid identifier [root@localhost ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
