    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    look around for mesa.
    if it isn't there, put this under "configured video device"

    Code:
    Driver "fgrlx"

    try this in a terminal:

    Code:
    glxinfo
    does that help?

    this is my xorg.conf:


    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    EndSection

    there is no mesa or fglrx. Well currently i'm running warcraft3 (dota) quite smooth.

    this is the result from glxinfo:
    name of display: :0.0
    display: :0 screen: 0
    direct rendering: Yes
    server glx vendor string: SGI
    server glx version string: 1.2
    server glx extensions:
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer,
    GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_SGIS_multisample,
    GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group

    is this mean that i'm using glx already?? thanks gus
