New Graphics Card

[JimH]

So when do the withdrawls begin?

:'( They already have.

My sister bought me Return to Castle Wolfenstein for Christmas. ;D The multi-player binaries for Linux are available for download, no single player for download yet :'( , so I would like to get it going to avoid having to boot <cough> windoze <cough>to play. Although I have not tried playing MP yet, I get killed enough with single player. :P

Well, I now have DRI support working with my Radeon 7500 ;D. I just finished building a new system, so the DRI problem I was having before was apparently related to the MVP3 chipset on my old motherboard. I kind of figured it was.

Basically useless output from glxgears.

$ glxgears -info

Hmmm, now where did I put that link to the RTCW Linux binaries. ;D
