I got the XFree86-4.0.2-build-4 SRPMS from RawHide 1.0 and tried building them. I broke a whole lot of stuff in the process (what with wanting to enable SSE optimizations, etc) but eventually got a binary. Anyway, after all my efforts, I get something like this in the XFree86.log: ... (0): [drm] created "tdfx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (0): [drm] added 4096 byte SAREA at 0xce377000 (0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xce377000 to 0x40015000 (0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xe2000000 (0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel ... so apparently I built the stuff correctly, also the Direct Rendering Manager is fine, I can see "XFree86-DRI" in my xdpyinfo output. However, *all* my OpenGL test programs are using the wretched Mesa Indirect renderer! I read the DRI Users Guide and got an error like this: ... $ export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose $ gears libGL: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libGL: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ... so apparently my DRI driver ain't there (the tdfx driver is just for 2D). Grr!! worst part is, linux.3dfx.com no longer exists thanks to the bankruptcy of that company. So I have nowhere else to go for working 3dfx binaries. I've rebuilt this thing about 3 times already (at 40 minutes per build, a majorly distracting among of time) but I'm still met with failure. Funny thing is, there *are* DRI drivers in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri for the Matrox, Intel i810, and some other cards.. except mine!! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> POTS Phone: +63 (2) 937-2293 Mosaic Communications, Inc.
