Joshua, first, let me make it clear I am far from knowledgeable about this subject. :)
I am pretty sure I didn't do much special to get DRI working on my g400 max. I am running branden's .debs, the matrox driver, and kernel 2.4.0-test7. I ensured that the agpgart module and mga kernel module were going to be compiled, and then compiled and installed. I think I was running DRI for a while there, because many dialog boxes on my primary display had some strange vertical bars -- a symptom of running DRI in a colordepth other than 16 (or is it other than 16 or 32?) Now that I run dual-head, I have to restart into single-head mode for DRI to work. Again, let me stress my ignorance. I managed to get q3demo to work at 30 to 50 fps in a window (I can't get it to full-screen, for some odd reason) -- so I figured DRI was working. :) HTH * Joshua Shagam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [000923 08:30]: > Hello, I've just upgraded my XFree 3.3.6 to 4.0.1 using these wonderful > packages, and haven't had any problems.
