After working on it for many days, I was able to fix my "Direct Rendering" problem after a clean install of Mandrake 9.1, followed by a kernel upgrade to 2.4.22. Previously, I was trying to get DRI to work under 2.6.0test7 kernel, which I believe has serious problems with DRI, and I would be amazed and in awe if anyone has gotten that combination to work.
After I re-installed Mandrake 9.1, I upgraded its kernel from source of plain-vanilla 2.4.22, which disabled the DRI. Binary distribution of DRI did not help; it just complained that my AGP heap was too old. I already had the DRI-CVS tree on my disk, I just re-did the kernel modules with make -f Makefile.Linux and manually copied radeon.o to /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/drm Upon restart, I had my DRI working again. Btw, the hardware is an IBM Thinkpad R40 with 1400x1050 X resolution. -turgut ------------ Turgut Kalfaoglu http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services http://www.egenet.com.tr
