Hey Gang, I've been running into a wierd bug with XFree86, and I was looking for some suggestions or ideas on what I can do about it.
First, I'm running Mandrake 10.0 CE on an Asus P4S800, with a P-4 2.80 E CPU ( 1 MB of onboard cache ), 512 MB's of DDR400 Ram, and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro AGP Video card with 64 MB's of ram.
I have 2 different kernels (2.6.3 Stock kernel from 10.0 CE as well as the 2.6.3-7 kernel) both of which run 100% perfect on this system, and XFree86 4.3-30 handles the video.
Here's the down-side. I can't run the Radeon in 3D Accelerated mode. If I try to select the XFree86 with 3D Acceleration, the system immediately freezes with a kernel lock. I can't open a new terminal to run a shutdown or reboot, the system isn't available across my network, and XFree86 never times out from the test sequence.
Am I missing something here? XFree86 states that it's using the default "fglrx" radeon driver module that came with CE, and when I run the GLX-Gears test, these are my results;
1789 frames in 5.0 seconds = 357.800 FPS 2000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 400.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 384.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS 1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS
But it also states that I'm missing another component;
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Is this included in 10.0 CE or do I need the retail version?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, unless they have to do with installing Windows! Grin!

OK Kaj. That just made a little too much sense! can't believe I didn't try that first! DoH ?
Thanks.
