The on-line docs for xorg's 6.8.0' say: RV370 Radeon X300, M22 (2d only) (I have Radeon X300) and I think that 3D acceleration is only provided by ATI drivers. > But I reverted to > my old Ati Rage 128 until I buy a more decent card. I don't think the card is not decent, and I will first revert to GNOME rather than give up my fast graphics (although I can use the built in Intel graphics I guess for reasonable graphics speed with KDE). > BTW what do you use... xfree, xorg, what version, what version of > kernel (to me it worked reliable only with the 2.6 series)... This is basically the vanilla EL 3.0, kernel 2.4.21-20.EL, with xfree86. > Try > upgrading to kde 3.3 because by what I think it is kde related since > it works with gnome. This is why I sent it to the KDE list. Read this: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33737637 "And there was a new option in the configure script, "-dlopen-opengl". This option remove the OpenGL and Xmu library dependencies in the Qt library. The functions used by Qt in those libraries are resolved manually using dlopen()." This guy claims upgrading to qt 3.3 solved the problem, and that it is because Qt loads OpenGL manually with dlopen, am not really sure what is going on. Is there a place I can ask the Qt folks? I am not really syre what the "Qt configure script" is--do I need to recompile? I want to upgrade to KDE 3.3, but not do a complete update of my computer. I tried using yum and the instructions on KDE's site, but there still seem to be packages missing or not up to date, and others on my system that depend on qt 3.1. For example, where is the needed themer rpm for Qt 3.3? Any advice on how to painlessly and safely upgrade to KDE 3.3 will be most welcome. Is Qt 3.3 known to break Qt 3.1 apps (like LyX, for example)? This would be bad. > You can always use a forum for quick questions... I know this sound stupid, but what do you mean?
