I *am* getting the acceleration, however, something is not quite right. As i said, tuxracer runs just fine, so maybe it's some OpenGL feature which most of the apps use, but tuxracer doesn't? Anyway, i should probably try updating everything to the latest versions and see what happens then. Not so sure that it would help though :( One more thing, I can't find any line in Xorg config relating to agp. How is it enabled?
