I'm only getting one line, and its a yes.
glxgears is running with minimal effect on the cpu, at just under 800
fps, which I'm told is very slow. Its about 50fps slower running this
kernel (2.6.10-rc2-mm3-VO-31.9) using the cfq scheduler than it would
be running a normal kernel and the anticipatory scheduler. But for
desktop use, I like the cfq scheduler because it throttles the cpu
hogs and keeps the system feeling good even when its up to its butt
in alligators busy.
There is an option in the kernel config to turn on the DRM stuff,
which may not be on by default so you may have to check that and
rebuild. My card is a 9200SE with 128 megs of ram. Here is my
xorg.conf:

together)

of

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
