[Mesa3d-users] Hardware connection

[Bäng-ha <jp...@ho...>]

Hi folks!

I'm new to Mesa, and I have a slight problem. From what I've gathered from 
the manpages, Mesa should connect to the X server for hardware support. 
However, whenever I run an application that uses Mesa, it claims to be using 
software rendering, and it surely performs like it does. Does anyone know 
why Mesa doesn't use my hardware acceleration and what I can do about it? 
I'm using a GeForce3 video card, XFree86-4.0.3-5 and Mesa-3.4-13.
Is there a configuration option or something like it?
By the way, I tried installing the linux version of Return to Castle 
Wolfenstein, and when it starts, it says it cannot load some Mesa-related so 
file. I think it had with software rendering to do, but that doesn't seem to 
be a problem with the Mesa demos, on the other hand. Does anyone have any 
ideas?

Thanks in advance!
