Hi, I've recently installed Debian onto my Cobalt Qube 2. I also installed KDE (and VNC) on to it, to see how well KDE would work.
As it turns out, it's not too bad at all. The other day I was going through my drawers and amongst the junk, I found a Matrox M3D card. It's a PowerVR Series 1 based board, and was used under Windows as a complimentary 3D accelerator, and has no outputs of its own. As my Qube has a spare PCI slot, I was wondering if it was possible to use the card to accelerate X / KDE and take some load off the CPU / free up some system RAM. Doing an 'lspci' gives the following information for the card... '0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia controller: NEC Corporation PowerVR PCX2 [midas] (rev 01)' Is it possible to accelerate X with this, even slightly? I did a search of the mailing lists, but nothing turned up for any of my searches :( It would be cool if anyone can provide any advice or assistance (even if it's to put the card back in my drawer ;) Thanks, Owen Watson -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
