Very Computer

My video card appears to be properly setup and configured, as bootup
messages indicate that the system knows that I have a Radeon card and the
messages indicate that acceleration is enabled.

I recently bought the game "Terminus".  The problem is that whenever I
start it, it uses software opengl rendering instead of hardware
acceleration (via DRI, I believe).  

I BELIEVE that DRI is enabled on my system (how can I confirm this?).  How
do I get hardware acceleration to work?

Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.

To confirm this, open up /var/log/XFree86.0.log and look for a line that
says:

Direct Rendering Enabled

(that might not be the exact wording).  If you don't see that, you don't
have 3D acceleration :-)

If you want 3D acceleration, but don't want to wait till XFree86 4.0.3
comes out, check out:

http://dri.sourceforge.net

for info on how to pull the code from CVS.

And trust me, Terminus looks *great* with a Radeon :-)
