Description

Checking that your card and software can render extremeTuxRacer. You must be using a card supported by the Radeon video driver.

Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter is not enabled in your bootloader configuration (unless you need it for basic X operation to succeed)

Ensure that

glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'

does not return:

OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

Install the extremetuxracer package: yum -y install extremetuxracer
Launch etracer from a terminal.
Edit the game settings (Configuration => {Video, Graphics}).
Launch a practice session (Ski Jump is short, Path of Daggers entertaining). Look closely at the screen.
Quit extremetuxracer.
