Thanks for the suggestion. I just added that line to the config file and
rebooted. No change. TuxRacer is still way too slow to be usable. 3D
acceleration worked fine when I used it on this machine under Red Hat 9. I
should have saved that config file before replacing it with Sarge.
Anything else I should try? Should I try dpkg-reconfigure?
