Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] WX GUI FFT Sink - error xorg.conf ?

[William Pretty Security]

Andrew;

I did a "find -name" in my GnuRadio directories and couldn't find any
xorg.conf file.
I found a number of xorg.conf files, but none that seem to relate
specifically to GnuRadio ...

Do I have to create one ??

Bill

3D performance on everything else sucked, but the FFT was exactly the same,
I think it always uses software for line drawing, just the software in the
GPU drivers isn't as good as the full software driver.

To switch, just change the driver line in your xorg.conf, I changed mine to
" Driver "vesa" ", which changes the OpenGL stack to Mesa's full software
renderer.
