[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Re: [Toped-development] toped on Fedora 9

As you know it was impossible to run toped on Fedora 9 with the original video drivers. Vendor drivers are still not officially available. That is the reason why we still don't have an RPM in FC9 repositories.

It was clear from the beginning that the problem was that toped can't obtain a GLX visual with accumulation buffers. They are used for the interactive graphics. A long investigation but finally something popped-up. Your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has to be updated as shown below Section "ServerLayout" ... Option "GlxVisuals" "all" EndSection This is proved working on a platform with the ATI graphic card. I have no information about nVidia platforms and whether the problem there was existing on the first place. The bad news is that the graphics still doesn't seem to be at its best, so this is not the end of the road.
