I'm interested to see if this helps, since he has a 'Go' card, meaning laptop, most likely no AGP. These OpenGL apps, are they native or linux? Try games/apoolGL, for a lightweight native OpenGL app. I have very bad performance (fps <10) with linux games, under fc6, that run fine under fc4. No crashes, though. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
