--- Comment #2 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2007-10-29 07:20:20 --- lspci | grep -i nvidia says 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M] (rev a3) /etc/X11/xorg.conf says Section "Device" Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M]" Driver "nvidia" http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/news1435.html says this chip was a "lite" version of GeForce3 from around 2002. glxgears runs and gets a proud 20 fps (on a busy system).
This is my fast home laptop, about two or three years old. It ought to be possible to run the wine test suite on this machine, so if that graphics isn't good enough, the test suite should sense that and skip the tests.
