I'm surprised that had any effect on Xconfigurator - I would think
that only mattered for 3D support.

I don't think BoardName matters.

The AGPMode depends on what your motherboard supports. I have a 4x
(speed) AGP motherboard. I don't know whether AGPMode has any effect
if you're not using 3D. You'll get faster renderings if you use the
highest AGP mode your motherboard supports (1, 2, or 4).

The "nodri" option says NOT to try to take advantage of 3D support so
when you do try to get 3D support, that will need to be removed.

The program "glxinfo" info will tell you whether or not you have 3D
support:

Here's the first couple lines from executing glxinfo:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

The "direct rendering: Yes" tells me that I have 3D support
working. Yours should say "direct rendering: No" right now.

I can't help you at all on the Windows side - my computer is Linux
only.

Good luck,
Dave
