Dummy: What is QE/CI and OpenGL? How do I know I enabled them?

HyperThreading Intel P4 2.8Ghz

1. Okay, installed 10.4.6 for a few days now. Love it.

2. With the information from: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...182&hl=9550

I installed the Callisto driver and got multiple resolution selectable.

3. Modified all the necessary files and no problem found for the QE/CI part. Reboot successful.

 

Here comes my question: I tried screen saver (very smooth now, not even working before QE/CI modify effort). Tried Chess, with the Preference dialog box on, there is some strange color around the dialog box. Once the Preference dialog box is close, the chess board back to okay. Flip it and rotate it seems smooth.

Drag a chess to move will left a little "mouse footprint" on the chess dragged.

 

But, but, but, what on earth is this QE/CI? I know OpenGL is working (from the screen saver test).

 

How do I know my QE/CI is working? How do I test it on my system?

What's the definition of QE/CI?

I want to play Call of Duty 2 for MAC on this machine. Does the COD2 require QE/CI?

 

Guess that's too many questions... believe me, I've searched web and this forum whole night and didn't find my answer.

 

Appreciate to any answer I could get...

QE = quartz extreme

CI = core image

 

as u can see from ur hardware info regarding the gpu, it said that u dont have those two enabled.

 

try reading faq.html from callisto folder that u've downloaded..

 

change the buffer thingy to CallistoFB

 

u should be using ATIRadeon9700 kext.
