From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: A check box helping to enable 3D Hardware Acceleration (DRI) should appeare somewhere in the interface, but it's not there. The obvious walkaround is to edit XF86Config by hand, but RH9 had this feature so it's good to have it in Fedora Core 1 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch redhat-config-xfree86 2. no check box for 3D Hardware Acceleration is there Actual Results: I cannot add 3D HW Acceleration from the GUI. Expected Results: A way should be provided to add 3D Hardware Acceleration from the GUI Additional info: None
We removed the checkbox because people would enable it for cards that 3D doesn't work on and it would hard-lock their systems. The right thing to do is for the tool to automatically enable it for the cards that 3D is known to work for and automatically disable it for the cards that are known to not work in 3D. We have a list of cards for which 3D should not be used. We need to keep this list current so that if drivers get fixed in the future, then 3D will be enabled on those cards.
Thank you. Got the point. Regards - Paolo PS : Go on with fantastic Fedora development !
