| If the installation has worked, then any 3D application should work without issue. A simple way to verify without any possibility of failure is to verify the following occurs. Please note that you may have needed to go through [[:Category:Distributions|distribution specific]] process to enable the 3D support.

It is assumed that you have completed the installation process.
FIELD_MESSAGE_getlipasalor
Verify with Linux tools
glxinfo
This command line option should report "direct" rendering.
$ glxinfo | grep direct
(For Debian 4.0, install the mesa-utils package to get glxinfo.)
Xorg.0.log
The X.org X server log file also contains useful information to verify installation was successful. It is located on most Linux distributions at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and can be opened by any text editor.
You can now move on to configuring the driver.
