I have an ATI Radeon 7500 AGP 64M card (not on this system) which gives me around 775fps in glxgears, using a woody backport of X 4.3. Not quite the same, but the basic principles are (from memory): - Set the kernel up right. Under "Character devices" in make menuconfig enable "/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)" for your motherboard's chipset. Then go down a bit to "Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)" and enable that with "ATI Rage 128 support". - Tell X to use the correct driver. I think it's called "ati" for your card, but check that (see xf86config). -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
