Re: How do tell if X is using acceleration...?...



I have looked at the log files. What am I looking for that will indicate accelerated or not accelerated? What do I need in my Xconfig file to tell X to do hardware acceleration?
Thanks.

I am thinking that my machine is not using acceleration. It is an athlon 600 with a voodoo3500. Graphics seem to be slow and take the CPU to over 75%. This even happens when moving an opaque window. My XFConifg-4 file is pasted below. Could someone help me with understanding what could be tweeked? Is it running accelerated? how can this be determined..?


I'm not familiar with Voodoo stuff but you can see if it is accelerated if you do this:

1. login as root in virtual console
2. make sure you are running bash "/bin/sh"
3. type "X 2>/tmp/MyXStartup"
4. switch back to virtual console and press Ctrl-C to stop X
5. "less /tmp/MyXStartup"

I don't know about xdm but if you run gdm the startup log file
is in /var/log/gdm which has the same thing as the above
/tmp/MyXStartup.

NOTE: If you run server on :0 and vt7, you need to specify a different location for the server startup in #3. Something like

"X :233 vt10 2>/tmp/MyXStartup" ought to do it :)


Hope this helps a bit,
Adam
