Guest HillBillyFunk Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Ahoy, this is my first ever post although I have been rinning Mandrake 10.0 for several years on many different platforms I am novice at best. I am having problems running some graphics on things like Google Earth, Half-Life and some movies. I get a message that I am running 'OpenGL' with software emulation, thius things are slow (understatement)..... this is my hardware info from my Laptop vendor (Toshiba 1805) Trident Cyberalladdin -T graphics controller 16MB external UMA VRAM video memory 3D graphice accelerator, AGP bus support 2D grpahic accelerator ; BitBLT hardware, Harware cursor, Direct Draw support. HardDrake says my video card is CyberBlade/XP/DSTN/Ai1 is there something I can download to make my graphics pretty? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Nope, nothing more to download. Just post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and we will see if you can use some better settings, to have better 3D/GL acceleration- but a card that old isn't likely to perform well with modern applications. "Direct Draw support" means absolutely nothing for Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillBillyFunk Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I cannot locate a xorg.conf file anywhere in the X11 directory, I did find several config files names XF86Config and XF86Config-4 both files seem to be the exact same, here is the contents. # File generated by XFdrake. # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.
