3d in FC4


Recommended Posts

I think I don't have a 3d support on my 3dfx Mighty Banshee video card under FC4. My guess is based on some facts:

1. some 3d screen savers run exetremely slow if at all;

2. Picasa's special effects don't work

3. some linux games don't work either

 

my xorg.conf:

I've never seen the:

 

Group 0

 

line in the dri section before. Maybe place a # before this. Also make sure you have the mesa libraries installed, as you normally need these for opengl. I know how to install this in Mandriva, but unsure in FC4. Try a:

 

yum list available mesa*

 

to see what's available and install corresponding package.

 

An easy way to check is:

 

glxinfo | grep direct

 

and see if direct rendering is yes or no.

OK, well I would suggest checking yum to see if you have any "mesa" packages, my post contained the command you need to type to find it.

 

This will probably need to be installed, it looks like you've not got them installed perhaps. Although I remember someone who had a 3DFX card and couldn't get opengl working, can't remember whether it was Voodoo/Banshee or whatever, but you might have a hard time with it, since the cards are old.
