Alright, I am in Gnome, and things look pretty nice, but I need to know how to tell if I have 3d acceleration working.
I used to use glxgears or something, but I can't seem to find it in portage.
Is there some way to tell if I have it working? I'd like to install UT2k3, but I want to make sure I have it going first.
Also, sound isn't working yet.  I have an SB Audigy 2. |

| I had problems in the beginning as well. The FAQ's linked by diabx0r were a big help. Also, make sure your kernel has AGP configured correctly and you have the AGP kernel module built into the kernel or loaded before you start X. For more info, see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml for info on the kernel configuration. |

I've followed all of the steps, but with no luck.  |

Ok, I replaced the "radeon" part under "Driver" with "fglrx" and now Direct Rendering says Yes, but glxgears is only getting 100 or so fps... it was getting 400 before.
Although, it looks really smooth now, as opposed to before where it looked choppy.

Are there any I can download for free? |

There's lots of demos available in portage. Try quake4-demo, quake3-demo, doom3-demo, ut2003-demo, or ut2004-demo. Enemy Territory is also completely free, try enemy-territory.
