Please, please help: Multisampling in linux

I’m desperately trying to get multisampling to work under linux but I can’t figure it out. I have a couple of questions:

  1. How should I initialize my window?
    • Can I use glut or glx or perhaps glew?
    • Can I run in windowed mode or do I need to
      run in full screen?
    • Do I need to alter any of Radeons driver
      settings outside my program?
  2. After initalizing, do I need to do anything
    else than calling glEnable(GL_MULTISAMPLE_ARB)?
  3. Can I enable disable it at my will (I’m using
    9800Pro)

Thanks a billion!

Open up /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Look for the line:

Option “FSAAScale” “0”

Change it to 2, 4, or 6 for the number of multisamples you want.
Restart graphics.
