Hi, |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
before changing my system I took a look at |
| 39 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Hardware_3D_acceleration_guide |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Down the page there is a test, whohc on my system reports: |
| 42 |
glxinfo | grep rendering |
| 43 |
direct rendering: Yes |
| 44 |
GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, |
| 45 |
GL_NV_path_rendering, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_point_sprite, |
| 46 |
GL_NV_packed_float_linear, GL_NV_path_rendering, |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
For me it reads like: Yes, you have hardware accelerated rendering. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Or did I miss something...? |

Cheers |
