How to use 3D support with SuSE Linux ?
Situation: I want to use the 3D support of my motherboard with SuSE Linux to start several applications that use this functionality (e.g. the crawling ant screensaver). I am positive that the motherboard (Intel) supports 3D, as I've run Fedora Core 1 in the past without any 3D hitches.
Running 3Ddiag in the terminal, I get the following....
Tests for XFree86 configuration:
Config File /etc/X11/XF86Config ... done.
Driver ... done.
Color Depth ... done.
Extensions ... failed!
================================================================
3D Hardware acceleration is not used. To use 3D
Hardware acceleration please specify these entries
Load "dri"
in the Section "Module" of your /etc/X11/XF86Config.
================================================================
I next go to the "Module" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config: and add the last (Load "dri") line, so that it looks like this:
Section "Module"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Finally, to test my configuration regarding the 3D feature, I use the command
glxinfo | grep rendering
to test if 3D is activated. The output is dissappointing, and reads:direct rendering: NoWhat am I doing wrong? Please help.-G
