I guess I not sure how to do this. I start SaX2 through YaST and it shows the card as a ATI RV350 AS (it's a 9250, BTW). But there doesn't seem to be anything that turns on 3D support.
Where should I be looking that I'm not? -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO

[...] ======== Bill, When are you going to enable 3D for that card? Not sure what model card you have, but from testing on an ATI card, the results you have are for 2D only using MESA rendering. Enabling 3D will increase your numbers 5-7 times over those numbers. At least that's what I get with my 9200 using the built-in ATI modules provided by SuSE's kernel.

I am in the market for a graphics card so I followed your posts. Here is what I found: There is more info about the ATI RV350AS on the web than you will ever find on the STI site. Proprietary Drivers needed - not available as Open Souce -- for RV350AS chipset. I can't really dope this out, but maybe it will make sense to you. Drivers for Linux are available. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.hardware/2005-04/0394.ht... Lee -- if what I found is non-sense (it was good in April) then please tell Bill not to take off on the stuff I found. Lonn
