how to figure out if Vid drivers are working right

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-28 03:00:33

I am wondering what is the best possible way to check to see if the drivers are good enough to play 3D games I know My card can handle pretty much any games. and please don't go pointing me to here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI or any other place that goes on and on about the old drivers and how to set up the old drivers because it is useless to me I read and read and read some more over and over again I actually want to install the ATI drivers onto here but apparently the Arch os doesn't like the ATI linux drivers install so this is why I am stuck I want to be able to play Oblivion again but I am doubting very much that the catalyst driver that came from pacman -S catalyst is going to any good for that please someone Help , I had know problem with the newest Ubuntu but I like the Arch OS better which is why I spent all day ( past 12 hrs solid) trying to figure this out.

make you have direct rendering

glxinfo | grep direct_rendering

should tell you, if I recall.

glxinfo | grep direct_rendering nothing happens with that

glxinfo | grep direct

ok this is the out put of that
glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
