I made the simple program from the example of clanLib source files, and succeed, but when I run the executable file, a information printfed as "No hardware acceleration available. I hope you got a really fast machine.", no error, the execution has been successful.

Does this mean that my computer is very poor? But I don't think so. My cpu is AMD 4200+, memory size is 1GB, vedio card is GeForce 7600 GS(256MB), My clanLib version is 0.8, my operating system is Linux FC6. So does it mean that something has not been set correctly? And if I made a big program, would it be very slow or have some other problems?

It should work okay with a GeForce card.

It sounds like the driver has been incorrectly installed.

On windows, ensure you are using the latest graphics driver (and have not manually disabled hardware acceleration)

On linux, some distributions do not come with the hardware accelerated graphics driver (License reasons i believe). Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download the driver
