[#]When i enable Xgl from livna-config-display and reboot , the system never loads the GUI and i have to get into command shell and reset the configuration with livna-config-display -a .

[#]ALL THE TESTS AND THE REPORTS BELOW ARE EXECUTED WHEN ONLY AIGLX IS ENABLED, THAT IS livna-config-display IS CONFIGURED TO DEFAULT.

PROBLEMS:

I installed celestia (linux edition) before installing thease graphics drivers and the graphics was too bad and very low fps.
After installing thease graphics driver Celestia started to give good fps and smooth graphics in OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL Vertex Shader mode.

[1]When ever i run winecfg or run any exe application (any application) it says the below.
[root@localhost Phoxis]# winecfg
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 18

[root@localhost Phoxis]# wine notepad
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 18
Current serial number in output stream: 18

[2]I installed Cedega its runs but the tests fail
The System Test Window Says

OpenGL Direct Rendering [FAILED]
3D Acceleration [FAILED]
POSIX Threads (Pthreads) [PASSED]
Copy Protection [PASSED]
OSS Sound [FAILED]
ALSA Sound [FAILED]

Thease output is in the gui format, a screenshot is linked below.

Link to the cedega system tests window image :

[*]When i try to run a game which needs OpenGL Rendering like Counter Strike it tells that no OpenGL Devices found ans the application is going to start in software mode.

When i try to run a game which needs Diret3D Rendering it tells that Couldnot find any compatible Direct3D devices.

[*]The System/Hardware information in the Cedega Edit-> System/Hardware Information shows the image linked below.
Link to the Cedega System/Hardware Information:

Notice that like amdcccle it fails to detect the video card properly.

[*]When Cedega is run from the konsole and any Video tests are run the below texts is displayed in the konsole.

X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 20
Current serial number in output stream: 20

[*]When i play any video , like .wmv or else format ( i have got almost all the codecs installed) and i full screen the video, the framerate dropes drastically and the video seems to be in slow motion.
Kplayer preferences says
Driver : xv:X11/XVideo
Device: (says nothing)
Codec : auto
Scaler : fast bilinear

[CHECKED] Enable double bufferring
[CHECKED] Enable direct rendering

I have tried all installed drivers and codecs but the effect are same.[*]system-config-display is run it shows the picture below and says

Monitor Type: (autoconfigured)
Video Card: Unknown video card

See image below

Link to Display Settings->Hardware Tab :

[*]Cannot enable desktop effects.

[*]What to do to get full hardware accleration and get use of the full 512 MB videomemory?
[*]What to do to get full charge of any graphics application with max fps.

I've trashed your cross-post, read the guidelines on that. Secondly, your posts are full of unnecessary attachments. Just the facts please!

Umm, you seem to have a bad habit of double posting. You've started a new thread on the same theme. I'm closing this one. Call this strike two. One more and it's a ban.
