Video Card Driver issues

[rokytnji]

Just guessing from the deserts of TX.

You're might be running a non-accelerated video driver
like vesa. Or haven't gotten the DRI component working right.

So how about some info for the members here 1st so they can chime in as I am kinda in and out of here.
Open a terminal and give us the readouts from the commands I'll give you below.

Code:

xvidtune -show

Code:

glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "dri" | grep -v -i "driver"

So you won't be afeared. Mine on a new install on another Laptop I own as a example. I run the free ati open source driver because I don't care about gaming.

Code:

harry@biker1:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "dri" | grep -v -i "driver"
