4096K is not enough. The FAQ at the DRI home page indicates somewhere between 10000K and 16384K is the preferred value. % rebuilt 2.4.20 with DRM support, and also compiled the relevant i810 % module. lsmod shows: % Module Size Used by Not tainted % i810 73464 1 % agpgart 21728 7 (autoclean) Looks good here. % % > - A video adapter that supports DRI % % i810 is what i have, so this should be a no brainer. % % > - A 'Load "dri"' entry in the "Files" section of the X config file to % > load the X DRI module % % done % % > - Possibly an 'Option "DRI"' entry in the "Device" section if your % > video adapter supports this entry % % this doesn't appear to be supported by i810 as far as i can tell. % % > - A DRI section in your config file: % > % > Section "DRI" % > Mode 0666 % > EndSection % % done that too. % % any suggestions/ideas?
