\_ SMTP quoth Mark Myers on 10/30/2001 10:41 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ I have an ATI Xpert 128 AGP video card w/16MB RAM.
\_ When I used Windows, OpenGL was fine.
\_ Having switched to RedHat, anytime I try to run anything that uses
\_ OpenGL, the computer freezes and I have to log in via a ssh connection
\_ and reboot the computer.
\_ I have tried this both in RedHat 7.1 & Mandrake 8.0 & 8.1.
\_ Is there something special I need to do to get OpenGL working on my machine?
\_ Even the GL screensavers lockup the current session.
\_ My system is an AMD K6-2 450MHz, 256 MB RAM, 43 GB combined hard drive
\_ space, and the ATI card.
\_ Any suggestions?

look in /etc/security/console.perms

perhaps tweaking out the DRI lines. perhaps. Got that out of the
nvidia readme/faw someplace.
