Guest caslca Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I mean really, i have an ATI Mobility Radeon 16mb agp card on my laptop and in XF86config-4 it says to load module "radeon" for my card so i assume the config is OK. Problem is, in KDE i experience some artifacts (common for software accel - not hardware) like parts of scroll bars or parts of labels etc. I can make them go away by making the window repaint itself, but i'm thinking that i might not be running a hardware accelerated module for my card. So how can i test if i really have hardware acceleration enabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 In a terminal type xdpyinfo and look in the extensions section for Render. Or/and, su as root and type glxgears -info and look for GL_EXT_xxx??'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Or just type: # glxinfo |less and look for a line that says Direct Rendering: Yes or No BTW: I am currently having problems with the same card, please run glxgears and tell me what happens?

Guest caslca Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 ok, this is what i get from xdpyinfo: BIG-REQUESTS DOUBLE-BUFFER DPMS Extended-Visual-Information FontCache GLX LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD RENDER SECURITY SGI-GLX SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-Bigfont XFree86-DGA XFree86-DRI XFree86-Misc XFree86-VidModeExtension XInputExtension XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo glxgears -info gives: GL_EXTENSIONS = GL_ARB_multitexture GL_ARB_transpose_matrix GL_EXT_abgr GL_EXT_blend_func_separate GL_EXT_clip_volume_hint GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array GL_EXT_histogram GL_EXT_packed_pixels GL_EXT_polygon_offset GL_EXT_rescale_normal GL_EXT_stencil_wrap GL_EXT_texture3D GL_EXT_texture_env_add GL_EXT_texture_env_combine GL_EXT_texture_env_dot3 GL_EXT_texture_object GL_EXT_texture_lod_bias GL_EXT_vertex_array GL_MESA_window_pos GL_MESA_resize_buffers GL_NV_texgen_reflection GL_PGI_misc_hints GL_SGIS_pixel_texture GL_SGIS_texture_edge_clamp and glxinfo gives: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context client glx vendor string: SGI so i guess config is ok and it seems to be using HW acceleration. But problem remains... Like when i closed glxgears' window, artifacts remained on mozilla.... My long shot is that KDE is not configured/capable for HW acceleration. any suggestions?

ral Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Me, I just run Tux racer. If it flies, means everything is okay. If the mouse crawls accross the screen... well than that means that I don't have graphics acceleration working well :D "My long shot is that KDE is not configured/capable for HW acceleration." Doubt it, RTCW, Quake II and Tuxracer run fine on my ML9 running a KDE desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Me, I just run Tux racer. If it flies, means everything is okay. lol :lol: I don't need to do anything, I can tell when X starts, but I run tuxracer to be sure as well. :wink: Kde, should in no way have anything to do with it. If you want to be sure, try another . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
