   FYI, here's a list of other sites where I post LG announcements. Has anyone
   got any suggestions for sites I can add to the list for next month?

     * LinuxToday.com
     * PCLinuxOnline.com
     * dot.kde.org
     * LinuxLookup.com

   I didn't post this, thanks are due to whoever did.

     * Live Journal: [56]http://www.livejournal.com/users/linuxgaznet

     We  occasionally  see  references  back  to us at Linux Weekly News
     ([57]http://lwn.net)  too.  Kind  readers,  let us know about other
     linuxgazette.net sightings. New mirrors are always welcome, too. :D --

   Finally, after many long, weary years, much wailing, gnashing of teeth,
   rending of clothes, and other low-budget special effects, TAG KB has been
   updated, courtesy of Dave Richardson. Our newest proofreader has started off
   with a BANG!... all right, you FBI people can all leave now, it was all
   harmless, no harm no foul. Sheesh, they're all so twitchy these days!

   Anyway, Dave - welcome and a job well done! As always, folks, comments and
   suggestions are highly welcome and encouraged.

Is your video acceleration system working?

   Ben Okopnik ([84]Linux Gazette Editor)

   Are your games running slowly, even though you have the latest whizbang
   video card? Is your Quake action more like a slow-motion low-crawl through
   Jell-O than a high-FPS F(irst) P(erson) S(hooter)? You may be using software
   emulation of direct rendering (DRI) instead of the real thing, or may have
   outdated (or missing) GL libraries.

   Here's a simple shell script that brings together all the necessary tools
   for checking your system's DRI status. I strongly suggest referring to the
   DRI Troubleshooting page at
   [85]http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DriTroubleshooting for a
   good guide to fixing any problems you find; it's been of great help to me
   several times.

                 See attached [86]check-dri-status.bash.txt

   Save it, make it executable with 'chmod +x ', run it, and follow the
   prompts at the bottom of the screen. (And remember to keep moving as you
   fire; the Macron in Level 8 can shoot missiles all day long.)
