Intel HD graphics 3D acceleration

[Cadeyrn]

Ah, nevermind! It was still not working because fglrx was also installed somehow... don't know how that happened.

Anyway, I uninstalled fglrx and reinstalled those packages again and I now have 3D acceleration on my Intel HD graphics! Thanks for the help.

If you want better 3D performance in games, when you log in choose "Classic Ubuntu Desktop, No Effects". Those desktop effects hog a ton of GPU cycles.

My framerates in games literally doubled when I did this.
