Hi,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you for your brilliant effort. What you are doing for the community is really great.
I've managed to install ironhide and get it to work but I cannot get the opengl antialiasing settings to work.

I'm running a program that uses opengl graphics and both the graphic quality and performance are rather poor.
In nvidia-settings (that I open through irondhide-settings) none of the settings I can change seems to be effective. Even if I set the antialiasing mode to "Override Applications Settings", it doesn't change anything, the image is still "pixelised".

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04-64bits on a Dell XPS l502x with a nvidia GT525m.

If I run my program:
- with optirun I get 30/35fps in bad quality
- without optirun I get 17/20fps in ok quality.

If I run that same program on my desktop computer running Ubuntu 10.10-32bits with a nvidia GTX460, I get 50fps in an amazing quality (and I can change the antialiasing settings in nvidia-settings effectively).

Here my primer concern is about the quality of the graphics, not really the framerate.
Is there a way to get the antialising settings to work?
Even if it is through a script or parameters or some tedious way, I don't mind because there is only one application that I need to get running nicely, the rest I'm not too bothered about.

Any help appreciated...
Thanks.
