Hi!

I have peg II with g3, 512 mb & radeon 9200 se. I suppose that configuration is strong enough to run any gfx environment of any distribution (I had gentoo and it was pretty much quicker than suse). Its slowness can especially be seen when wallpaper is active.

One more question...

How do I start 3d acceleration?

Gentoo is fine tuned to your machine. SUSE uses the same binaries from embedded to IBM POWER servers. This makes software updates a lot more easy both for SUSE and for us users, but also has some performance drawbacks. The most striking difference is the lack of Altivec optimalization. It can not really be felt by server applications, but for multimedia applications sometimes significant. SUSE Linux PPC was originally targeted at IBM POWER servers...


Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favorite text editor
and add the following line to the modules section:

Restart your X server. 3D support will be enabled this time. It can't be set from YaST/sax2, as 3D is officially supported only for x86 binary ATI/Nvidia drivers.

Well... I did it before. Load "dri" and restarting the X mode. But still I get this message after starting some 3d game:

- No 3D graphic card available or 3D support is not configured yet. However, the application uses or requires 3D hardware support. - :?

Ooops, sorry, I forgot that you use 10.0...

Please take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_X11_configuration
You will need: in the "Devices" section. This line is not needed on 10.1 any more, which I used in the past half year (I mean, the betas...).

If it still does not work (it should), please take a look at the output of dmesg, and at /var/log/Xorg.log.0.

Wow... This is what I call crash.

So...

I edited xorg.conf strickly as it says on link in your answer.
I restarted X, but... Now it's totaly unusable. I can't do anything.
Keyboard is dead, mouse buttons too. Nothing's working. Anybody knows
what's going on?

Check you have 3D rendering with this command :
glxinfo | grep rendering

Direct rendering should be enabled has czp said
Option “BusType” “PCI”
in device section should be added.
If it crashes maybe you made a syntax error because it also work like this on Ubuntu.

For that work you must restart your computer (like in Windows :-) )

Maybe you should check UseFBDev option, I add to uncomment (or set i to false) it I remember.

Check also that your Monitor and Display sections are correct (frequencies and res must be supported).
Example :

Exemple :
SubSection “Display”
Depth 24
Modes “1280x1024” “1024x768” “800x600”
EndSubSection

Section “Monitor”
Identifier “Generic Monitor”
Option “DPMS”
HorizSync 28-120
VertRefresh 43-85
EndSection

Try also to remove "Load dri" before...
just in case (I don't remember modifying this on Ubuntu - and Suse 10.0)

Ok. I'll try it.
