Hello everyone, my first post on the Slackware forum :) I'm very happy with my 14.2 install and I'm excited for the upcoming 15.0 release. :) But I seem to have problems getting X to utilize my GPU and performance when running games is of course really bad. My current setup:

Code:[ 33.556] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 33.773] (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed
[ 33.806] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software renderingThe GPU is pretty new so I knew I would have to update my kernel. Maybe I just have to bite the bullet and run current? I wanted to check here if anyone has any ideas before I try anything like that.
