I got an Acer Travelmate laptop this week and would like to see 3d acceleration on it, so i tried tweaking with the mach64 branch.
There was a minor issue with up() and down() which caused a kernel oops. After fixing that, I commented out some code in mach64_do_dma_init() which doesn't seem to work. The clear code was disabled with an #if 0. After enabling that, i can run e.g. gears and it looks ok although the fps rate is relatively low (below 300). I tried many gl demos and most of them look basicly ok (i.e. draw something on the screen, as opposed to the state before re-enabling the clear code). Drawing lines doesn't seem to work; xscreensaver's moebius demo doesn't show feet of the crawling bugs. Sound in games is distorted. Quake 3 demo runs in a very playable speed and otherwise looks ok too, which is a major improvement to XFree3/utah glx. With XFree3 it ran something like 10fps, non-fullscreen. What's next? What is the "BusMastering trouble"? Are there any specs available for wannabe dri developers, or are we to guess what mach64 registers do? Any other recommended docs to start with?
