hi to all (this is my first post to this ml ;-) )
i've got a voodoo 3 3000 agp graphic card, and i want to enable direct
rendering on it, on my arch linux box.
before this post i've tried to solve the problem myself, using various
howtos taken from the web (like the dri-howto), but with no success.
kernel version is 2.6.13-archck3.1 (thanks to james rayner for it)
arch version is 0.8 [wombat]
X version is Xorg 6.8.1
agp chipset is a VIA, as demonstrated by output of the command *lspci |
grep AGP* :
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C598/694x [Apollo
MVP3/Pro133x AGP]
now i explain the steps i've done:
[1] i've edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and i've decommented this lines:
...
Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
...
EndSection
...
Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection
[2] i've compiled my kernel enabling (as built-in) this options:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<*> VIA chipset support
<*> Direct Rendering Manager
<*> 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+
[3] after i've booted with new kernel, i launch X (with command
*startx* ), but the output of command *_glxinfo | grep rendering*
(launched in a graphic terminal) remains the same:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kid_dynamite]# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
* * *
i've also tried in another way:
[2a] enabling options in the kernel as modules, in this way:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<M> VIA chipset support
<M> Direct Rendering Manager
<M> 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+
and launching this commands after boot process (but before starting X):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kid_dynamite]# modprobe agpgart
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kid_dynamite]# modprobe via-agp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kid_dynamite]# modprobe drm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kid_dynamite]# modprobe tdfx
and this modules load correctly, 'cause output of command *lsmod* is
(without unnecessary lines):
Module Size Used by
via_agp 7584 1
tdfx 2688 1
drm 60916 2 tdfx
agpgart 29384 2 via_agp,drm
but my problem remains, 'cause if i launch (after starting X) *_glxinfo
| grep rendering* output is now:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.13]# glxinfo | grep rendering

libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x41
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x42
direct rendering: No
ps: i've tried also to compile the *3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+* option as
module, and the rest as built-in, in this way:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<*> VIA chipset support
<*> Direct Rendering Manager
<M> 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+
but with no success.
i've uploaded my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log files (if useful) here:

http://hardcorer.altervista.org/temp/Xorg.0.log
any help would be appreciated
thanks
ps: sorry for my not so good english :-D
