 That shouldn't be needed, the tdfx module that comes with kernel 2.4.12
 should work. I suspect there's some kind of version conflict with the
 client libraries. Hard to tell without any real info though.

First, sorry for the very long email that I am sending.
So you are saying that I don't need the tdfx_dri.so file anymore ?
The Xfree log say that DRI extension has been installed.

But when I run the glxinfo program I get the following response :

What it's wrong, what else do I need ? I have the opengl library provided by the XFree 
4.1.0, I
also have installed the Mesa-utils 3.4.1 libs and the glide libraries. I can't use any 
program that
need hardware acceleration, such as tuxracer.

Thanks for any help,

 It's what libGL uses for the hardware rendering, so yes, it's still very
 much needed. :) That said, I know next to nothing about Conectiva but my
 impression is that it's a fairly reasonable distribution so I'd expect
 them to provide means to find out which package contains it.

 Everything looks good as far as the X server is concerned. To get some
 debugging information run glxinfo (or any GL client for that matter)
 with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose.

For some reason when Conectiva released the version 4.1.0 of XFree, it didn't release
the package that has this driver. Is there some way to compile only this library 
without 
the need to recompile the entire XFree ?

Thanks a lot for the help,

[Xpert]Voodoo 4 4500 AGP

[Paulo Vitor Magacho da Silva]

Hi,

since I upgraded my XFree86 from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0, I can't you the dri extension 
for 
the Voodoo 4.
The XFree 4.0.3 had a RPM package called XFree86-tdfx-dri-4.0.3 ... that 
provided the 
dri capability for the Voodo 4500. It worked quite well.
The Xfree 4.1.0 doesn't have this package. Although the performance using 
software 
renderer has improved, I can't use the hardware acceleration. I have already installed 
the glide
library for this board and I use the Opengl libs provided by the Xfree package.
My distribuition is Conectiva Linux 7.0, and I use the kernel 2.4.12 . 

Thanks,
  Paulo Vitor
