I assume you're talking about ogre hre, I was talking about both ogre
and chess. I hope you will do chess too? Then I can cease my search for
a better yer opensource supported videocard and once again be happy with
my radeon 9250.

No problem.

p.s.
Talking about ogre, I've used the SDL and not the GLX platform driver,
see a small commment in the specfile about this. This comment includes a
BZ nummer which refers to a BZ ticket about the use of Xrandr in another
causing problems. This is however not game specific the use of Xrandr
in general for resolution switching for games really is a bad idea, see BZ.
One of us should contact upstream and get them to switch to XF86VidMode
instead, as I've done for gcompris.
