I don’t do any 3D work or gaming under Linux so I’d never bothered to install the full OpenGL drivers for my Radeon card (the default XFree86 drivers only do 2D), but I stayed up late last night finally getting them working *just* so I could run the GLMatrix module of xscreensaver.
I am beyond help. :-)
I wouldn’t say you’re beyond help — after all, at least the hardware you installed it for has some horsepower. Lookit what I worked so hard to get it running on. :-)
