This depends on the graphics card. radeon and r128 cards should work, but only sax2 does not allow 3D in the xorg.conf file. Add 'Load "dri"' to the Module section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

My Powerbook, which has a Rage Pro Lt(and has support for DRI from the website) has the following section: Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Is there anything more that I need to do?

It is just sax2, which does not know about it. At least if you have a radeon, then adding load "dri" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf will enable 3d.

It's not only on PPC, even on x86 or x86_64, all Radeons > 9250 have to be activated manually by adding the entry into the xorg.conf. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

Again, why? Since I don't have many ATI cards, I have never ran into this problem. I generally have used nVidia cards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

I don't know, maybe SUSE thinks it's not stable. The 3D support for R200 chips is included for a very long time, but R300 is only available since a view X.org versions.

Than you can be sure not to have 3D support without proprietary drivers (which are not available for ppc). -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

The newest card I have is a Radeon 7000. Between the Mac64 and Rage Pro's, this is the biggest ATI experience I have had.

Good point. Forgot about that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
