    Video Card Configuration

    Hi
    I had a problem with my video card configuration when starting to use suse 10.2. I have a VIA K8M800 integrated with the motherboard, the driver that i installed by default was VESA, and it didn't work fine, because the graphic enviroment was too slow!
    I changed the driver values in xorg.conf (/etc/X11), writing 'VIA' instead of 'VESA' and just with that the problem seems to be solved.
    But Now I want to know if there is a way to find out if the rest of video components (DRI, Xvmc for mpeg acceleration) are working well.

    type this line in commandline (with X11 enabled):

    glxinfo|grep direct

    If one of the line says:

    direct rendering: Yes

    then I think you're all set.

    you can also use glxgears to test the fps.

    p.s.: I've never used SUSE Linux but I think these commands should be distro independent...
