How does one enable 3d acceleration? I looked through the xorg.conf and didn't see anything appropriate. It has never mattered much before but I want to waste my precious time on a silly Neverwinter nights game.

The first thing to do is to add yourself to group 'video', if you have not already done so. Then... in xorg.conf check that you have
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
under the section "Module". You should also have
Section "DRI"
Mode 0660
EndSection
somewhere in xorg.conf.
Restart X after editing the conf file. If the output of 'glxinfo' contains the magical words "direct rendering: yes", you should be in business...

And if you do not use hotplug, you should modprobe i915 (or add it to the daemons array in rc.conf).

Modules, not daemons..

X loads i915 automagically for me. (not using hotplug...)

it does indeed. on top of that i810 enables DRI on "supported chipsets" according to the manpage and what i can see in reality. i wouldn't say that NwN will run too great though since i810 still is a pretty slow chipset not meant not gaming.
