i just did a compiz check from Forlong's Blog - Compiz-Check
here is the results that i got
now that I know that it is the ATI Radeon chip that I have that is causing me the problems, now my question is this. would it be better to get a new video card for the computer or try to get through the problem and keep the Radeon chip? and if i should get a new chip, is there a good chip for under about $75 US of A that is good for linux and is usable for a laptop. i have a IBM ThinkPad T40. all advice would be very much appreciated.

I want to know if under Linux there are some graphics libraries and/or functions for using simple graphics in the 'console' screen.
For example with MS-DOS (when I was using Borland Turbo C++ v1.01, a very old version) there was the include file <graphics.h> that allowed to enter the graphic... (1 Reply)

I am on an HP C8000 running B.11.11, I have no idea how to tell what graphics card I have...and the amount of memory it has, driver, etc. Also, how do I tell how much ram the box itself has, and other memory information like swap and processor speed and all that. Any help out there for me? ... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am on Fedora9 and need to do some simple 2D graphics (for game development). I am looking for an ideal 2D library/package to be used with GCC.
I have come accross GRX, libmxi and some OpenGL (The 3D), but none of which seems to be ok.
I could not find any tutorial or support material... (1 Reply)
More and more applications which consist of computationally intensive tasks rely on the graphics card's capabilities in order to speed up the calculations. The question is how can one know whether the graphics card will have any influence for a proprietary application? (2 Replies)

Tk_GetGC(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetGC(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tk_GetGC, Tk_FreeGC - maintain database of read-only graphics contexts
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
GC
Tk_GetGC(tkwin, valueMask, valuePtr)
Tk_FreeGC(display, gc)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window in which the graphics context will be used.
unsigned long valueMask (in) Mask of bits (such as GCForeground or GCStipple) indicating which fields of *valuePtr are valid.
XGCValues *valuePtr (in) Pointer to structure describing the desired values for the graphics context.
Display *display (in) Display for which gc was allocated.
GC gc (in) X identifier for graphics context that is no longer needed. Must have been allocated by Tk_GetGC.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetGC and Tk_FreeGC manage a collection of graphics contexts being used by an application. The procedures allow graphics contexts to be
shared, thereby avoiding the server overhead that would be incurred if a separate GC were created for each use. Tk_GetGC takes arguments
describing the desired graphics context and returns an X identifier for a GC that fits the description. The graphics context that is
returned will have default values in all of the fields not specified explicitly by valueMask and valuePtr.
Tk_GetGC maintains a database of all the graphics contexts it has created. Whenever possible, a call to Tk_GetGC will return an existing
graphics context rather than creating a new one. This approach can substantially reduce server overhead, so Tk_GetGC should generally be
used in preference to the Xlib procedure XCreateGC, which creates a new graphics context on each call.
Since the return values of Tk_GetGC are shared, callers should never modify the graphics contexts returned by Tk_GetGC. If a graphics con-
text must be modified dynamically, then it should be created by calling XCreateGC instead of Tk_GetGC.
When a graphics context is no longer needed, Tk_FreeGC should be called to release it. There should be exactly one call to Tk_FreeGC for
each call to Tk_GetGC. When a graphics context is no longer in use anywhere (i.e. it has been freed as many times as it has been gotten)
Tk_FreeGC will release it to the X server and delete it from the database.
