Hardware 3D Accceleration

emerge pciutils
lspci | grep AGP

On my computer I get:

0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 03)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 82)

Made sure appropriate options were switched on in Steve’s kernel config. (They probably were)

Followed option in the gentoo document to update xorg.conf. Now to re-boot - will we ever get back again!!

We did - no problem - the tests in the gentoo how to document indicate that the update is working
