RH and MDK hardware 3d accelleration

[Robert Meyer]

Well, it could be one of two things.  We need to know if it is supposed to use
'DRI' or 'GLX' (the two competing Linux OpenGL methods).  Poking around, I
found that Xfree86 4.2 supports the SiS630 using DRI.  If you add 'Load dri' to
your config file (typically '/etc/X11/XF86Config-4'), you should find that
'xdpyinfo' shows the 'DRI' extension.  Then try 'glinfo' to see if you actually
get any hardware acceleration listed in the info.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!
