Re: [XFree86] XFree86, Radeon 7000, and 3D hardware support
Seemingly, my Radeon 7000 doesn't mind not having the support enabled, but when you turn it on, the display goes wacky. Would you recommend doing this? Is it easy enuf? http://dri.sourceforge.net/faq/faq_display.phtml?id=42 You don't have a choice with a PCI card. You could try http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/DRI/radeon-pcigart.diff though (requires Option ForcePCIMode). I don't have a choice..? Of doing what or not what? :) And what do I do with this .diff file? I am quite the linux newbie.. :) Thanks for all your help, btw :) - John Chalice a.k.a. crysaliq ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I am quite the linux newbie.. :) It is the difference between two versions of a set of source files -- a delta, so to speak. You apply it to the older of the two versions with a nice utility called patch. The diff file (also called a patch) is the result of running the utility called diff on two files or two sets of files. It prints the differences to stdout, which the programmer can choose to look at or to redirect to a file (which is what happened in this case). The diff file is human-readable - go have a look to see which files are changed and how :) Three great points about diffs: o it is used to synchronize developers placed all over the world. Whenever somebody has written a newer version of some code s/he/it sends the diff file (usually in the socalled unified format because most people find it easier to read). It is pretty clear to the rest if the changes are worthwhile or not just from reading those diff. o you can concatenate several diff files to make one big patch: cat diff1 diff2 diff3 bigpatch o you can insert a diff file right in the middle of an email and later feed it into patch -- which will obediently ignore the text in your email and just apply the patch! Linus Torvalds used to export all the emails with interesting patches to one big file and then apply the whole shebang. You can also massage patch files pretty easily in a text editor if you need to. man patch should help you with the rest of the details. (you will probably need to type something like patch -p0 radeonpatchwhatever.diff while in the directory with all the other source code and then recompile) -Peter We need to see ex-girlfriends occasionally so that we remember why we aren't with them anymore. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
