Thank you for the tip. I was able to yum install ati-fglrx.x86_64 from 
livna. Still, it didn't work. I strongly suspect that 3D hardware 
acceleration is not possible with the ATI Radeon X800XL video card.
If anyone has it working, could you please respond?
Then I'll know it *can* be done.....

Guus.
