Does the accelerated XF68 X-server support acceleration on the PowerMac
7300? I've been trying to set-up XF68 with little success. All I can
get is 8bpp and no acceleration. If someone has managed to make
acceleration work on a 7300 (with stock video), I'd appreciate a copy
of your XF68Config file. Thanks,
Renaud Dreyer

I was thinking of eventually a graphic card for my 7300, with some kind of 3D support. Which one would support acceleration? Thanks, Renaud [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.

Thanks, Right now there's an accel'ed X for ati cards and IMS cards. Drop one of those in, run X on that and it'll be acclerated. --- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://dobbstown.yeti.edu/ [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.

OK, so I know indeed not to waste any more time on this, for now. > > I was thinking of eventually a graphic card for my 7300, with some kind > > of 3D support. Which one would support acceleration?

Isn't the 7300 internal video ati based, though? Thanks, Renaud [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.

When color is set for 8 bpp the screen is all white with a cursor, 16 bpp seems to work, but there are window remnants left behind when dragging or from menus. I only have 2 MB of SGRAM so I haven't tried higher resolutions, if it would help fix the problem, I could experiment a bit more. Non-accelerated, the X server works great. So I've pretty much settled on what I have.
