i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the graphic card
requirements of linux systems. or even know what my graphic card support
of them :S i'm more knowledgeable in direct x requirements, and the
different shader models required by windows games :P

so basically nv does only 2d? i'm sure i have nv, not the open-sourced
nvidia or xv. so if nv doesn't provide 3d, then wha's different between
nv and nvidia, i thought nv has more functions than nvidia? :-S

i see the Open GL/GLX information, and i can see direct rendering set to
yes, and a lot of GLX extensions.

can you please explain more about the nv and nvidia drivers? and someone
mentioned that ATI doesn't have render acceleration. even in the
proprietary driver? or it isn't supported by the hardware?
