I assume you're talking about ogre hre, I was talking about both ogre 
and chess. I hope you will do chess too? Then I can cease my search for 
a better yer opensource supported videocard and once again be happy with 
my radeon 9250.

No problem.

p.s.

Talking about ogre, I've used the SDL and not the GLX platform driver, 
see a small commment in the specfile about this. This comment includes a 
BZ nummer which refers to a BZ ticket about the use of Xrandr in another 
  causing problems. This is however not game specific the use of Xrandr 
in general for resolution switching for games really is a bad idea, see BZ.

One of us should contact upstream and get them to switch to XF86VidMode 
instead, as I've done for gcompris.
