Keks: /* Script doesn't work for me... */

What is the openGL performance like on this card? Could I play UT2004 and run the OpenGL screensaver hacks at a reasonable speed. In comparison To say a Radeon 9000/9200 card?

It was a pain to get it working under xorg, and once it was running, acceleration required it to be set to 16bit, at 1024x768x16 (a X41) the default glxgears shows ~1300fps, external monitor did not get acceleration (~600fps). And the ogl rendering seams to be buggy with missing textures here and there. I don't know how this translates to UT2004 performance , but you can probably run some opengl screensavers with no problem.
Hopefully xorg 6.9 and 7.0 will provide proper support. --[[User:Meta|Meta]] 23:01, 29 Nov 2005 (CET)

Do you mean xinerama?

== Dual-head and AIGLX ==

I'm in Ubuntu Edgy, which makes the jump from GLcore to AIGLX for GLX support, Thinkpad z60t (Intel 915GM card). Dual head worked fine under Dapper (using GLCore), but now crashes X server when switching to-from a VT, or when attempting to run any OpenGL software (glxgears, glxinfo, et al). The kicker is once X has crashed it won't start up again without reboot. This is frustrating. I am about to embark on a hefty module recompile session, but I am curious if anyone has had this or similiar experiences.

== DRI Script doesn't work for me... ==

If fails throwing a compiler error. dri.log looks like this:

So somehow the file drm/linux-core/linux/config.h is missing. I am using Gentoo with a 2.27-r8 kernel, just in case it helps.
