Gaming with Linux 23
To find out whether DRI is working on your current video card, type the following:
$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
This example shows that direct rendering is enabled. If it were not supported, the output would
say No instead of Yes. While DRI can be important, many games implement OpenGL rendering,
which is a feature supported by both NVIDIA and ATI video cards. To enable rendering for cards
that support it, add the following line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Load ???render???
Running Open Source Linux Games
A handful of games are delivered with most desktop-oriented Linux distributions. The GNOME
and KDE environments, which are available with most desktop Linux distributions (described in
Chapter 3), each has a set of games associated with it.
GNOME Games
More than a dozen basic games are delivered with the GNOME desktop. If you are just looking for
a game to pass a bit of time, one of the GNOME games will probably work fine for you.
GNOME games consist of some old card games and a bunch of games that look suspiciously
like those you would find on Windows systems. If you are afraid of losing your
favorite desktop diversion (such as Solitaire, FreeCell, and Minesweeper) when you leave Windows,
have no fear.
