OpenGL is it needed???

[Ric Moore]

Got a question that I thought I'd post here, for the quality of replies
<smirk>

I've got a GeForce 5200 with the livna drivers installed to FC6. I'm
running 32bit on an Athlon64 3200+ with 2 gigs of memory. Hell, at least
I'm impressed! 

The question is (hold your breath!) is do I need OpenGL installed???

I'm running a 3D adventure game (now the truth is known) and it's choppy
as hell. I know I got the mojo machine here. I read a post where one guy
said that he had installed openGP and it tasked the CPU instead of the
GPU. Removing openGL, according to his guy, really cranked up his
graphical display significantly, he says.  I have no clue. Would someone
clue me in??? I know ole Lonnie has this stuff pegged. I eagerly await
the chance to be further educated! Yes, I am also running Beryl. Ric
