I love reading docs*, but *which* docs do you mean?
I've already looked at /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README*
and http://www.xfree86.org and various man pages (maybe not
the right ones?).
Yes, I am woefully ignorant about X. Most of the time it just works,
so I ignore it. I'm installing my Mom's first Linux box, though, and
it just won't be right until Tux Racer works. ;-)
As a practical matter, what she'll care most about is streaming video,
which is probably "2D acceleration", though. That's part of the reason
I was looking at the Gatos site --- but it does have a page on debugging
DRI problems, so I thought it might be relevant.
Thanks,
Terry
*As opposed to not having any docs anyway. ;-)
