I'm running Suse 6.4 on my Beige G3. How can I tell if X is getting accelerated? If it shows that it's not, how do I turn acceleration on?
Verify, which X server you are actually running by issuing the following command: # file /var/X11R6/bin/X On my box (a PC) it gives the following output: /var/X11R6/bin/X: symbolic link to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA SVGA is using accelerated features of your video card, so do most other X servers except for the FBdev (FrameBuffer) and VGA16 X server. Most likely you will be using the (unaccelerated) FB X Server. "xdpyinfo" also shows some helpful info about your X window system.
