Hi All, I'm trying to get DRI working on my Matrox G200 and not having much luck. Most of this is probably due to my ignorance of Linux 3d support, but since it involves Debian specific changes to X, I thought I'd ask here first.
I first tried using the stock 4.0.1-0phase2v13 X packages with kernel 2.2.18pre15 and got the following message from the X server: (EE) MGA(0): [drm] MGADRIScreenInit failed (DRM version = 1.0.0, expected 2.0.x). Disabling DRI. It seems the Debian diff for 4.0.1-0phase2v13 has patched the mga_drv X module to require a newer version of the mga kernel module, which AFAICT, is only available in the 2.4 kernel. I'd rather not switch to the 2.4 kernel yet. Does anyone know of a newer version of the mga kernel module for the 2.2 kernel? I then tried replacing the mga_drv X module with one from the Matrox ftp site that appeared to work with the 1.0.x mga kernel module and got the following messages: (0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler (0): [DRI] installation complete (II) MGA(0): direct rendering enabled However, glxinfo claimed direct rendering was not enabled, and sure enough, there was no improvement over software renedering when running 3d apps. FYI, another partly related problem I've run into is that the mesag3 package contains libGL and libGLU but the xlibmesa3 package only contains libGL. What package is supposed to provide libGLU when xlibmesa3 is used? David -- David Engel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
