Thanks, Paulo Vitor ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert You need to compile and install the tdfx drm kernel module from the source. If Connectiva do not supply this as a separate SRPM then you will have to get the full Xfree 4.1.0 SRPM and find it in the os-support directory in there somewhere. I bet your DGA does not work though. Mike. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

That shouldn't be needed, the tdfx module that comes with kernel 2.4.12 should work. I suspect there's some kind of version conflict with the client libraries.

So you are saying that I don't need the tdfx_dri.so file anymore ? It's what libGL uses for the hardware rendering, so yes, it's still very much needed. :) That said, I know next to nothing about Conectiva but my impression is that it's a fairly reasonable distribution so I'd expect them to provide means to find out which package contains it.

For some reason when Conectiva released the version 4.1.0 of XFree, it didn't release the package that has this driver. Is there some way to compile only this library without the need to recompile the entire XFree ?

You need that library. XFree's libGL is just an intermediary, it uses that library to talk to 3Dfx boards to do direct rendering. (II) TDFX(0): [DRI] installation complete (==) TDFX(0): Direct rendering enabled What it's wrong, what else do I need ? I have the opengl library provided by the XFree 4.1.0, I also have installed the Mesa-utils 3.4.1 libs and the glide libraries. I can't use any program that need hardware acceleration, such as tuxracer. Say what? Please say you didn't overwrite your libGL. First, do 'ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo' and make sure it's linking the correct libGL. Second, as Michel said, run 'LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo' and see if it spits out any errors. You may need to look at /dev/dri/* and see if the permissions are set correctly for you to access the DRI devnode. If not, 'man XF86Config' is your friend. Look for info on the DRI section.
