Dear Andrew

Let us try to get the ync buffer swapping to vblank work... :)

RH 9.0 shipped with the latest xfree86:

xfree86.4.3, 

which, according to Leif Delgas should make the synchronization of  the
swapping of OpenGL buffers with the vertical retrace signal, possible:

use 'export LIBGL_SYNC_REFRESH=t'."
-> do I just need to type this in the command-line as su?

see also the xfree86 section in:
http://www.gurulabs.com/RedHatLinux9-review.html

I still get:


2003-04-29 09:26:54 (1287) info: OpenGL 1.2 Mesa 4.0.4, Mesa DRI Radeon
    20020611 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE TCL, Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
2003-04-29 09:26:54 (1287) info: Video system reports 32 bpp (8 8 8 8
RGBA).
2003-04-29 09:26:54 (1287) WARNING: Could not sync buffer swapping to
vblank
    because you are running linux but not known/supported drivers (only
    nVidia and recent Mesa DRI Radeon currently supported).

thanks :)
Christoph
