So the range of 3D accelerated cards boils down to those which have appropriate kernel code. That reminds myself that me having a Fire GL 1000pro which is a perfect 3d accelerator can only use inderect Mesa rendering capabilities, which is indeed sad. --- cheers, Samium Gromoff ________________ __________________________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
