Not sure if it has 3D or where it comes from. Mesa isn't a driver, it's an OpenGL-compatible 3D-graphics library. > 3) Radeon. Also called FGLRX. No, those are two different drivers. "radeon" is an open-source driver that's included with Fedora, fglrx is a proprietary driver available from ATI or third-party repositories. > B) There are different graphics environments, call X servers: > Xorg, XGL and X11.

Thanks. So, I need to replace: 1) Vesa/Radeon in xorg.cong to fglrx. This is simply done with VI. 2) Xorg with XGL. This is done by installing XGL via yum. Is this correct? I don't want to experiment anymore with this working system as I sometimes make mistakes and it's difficult for me to correct them in init3 with only lynx!
