hi,
i've been checking dri.sourceforge.net almost daily
since i've discovered that the problem (below) is
related to lack of real mach64 support. can you
please update us on the status of this project?
should we hope for any support, or is it just not
going to happen?
too many posts on dri.sourceforge.net and no response
from any developers... it really discourages the
audience.
PLEASE let us know what is happening with this.
thanks.
Note: forwarded message attached.

hi,
i've spent weeks on this problem to no avail. the
problem is that i don't believe accelerated graphics
are running on my system; i've run a basic game,
tuxracer, to test this out, but the game itself runs
horribly slowly (actually, to be perfectly honest, i
can never get into the game itself - the screen jumps
around too much; the game shows like 10 frames per
minute).
i am running Redhat 7.1 on my dell optiplex gx1 system
with the following video card:
Video type: integrated ATI Rage Pro (AGP 2X) graphics
(this video card, i've heard, is also known as the
Rage III)
running superprobe tells me the following info:
First video: Super-VGA
Chipset: ATI 264GT3 (3D Rage Pro) (Port Probed)
Memory: 8192 Kbytes
RAMDAC: ATI Mach64 integrated 15/16/24/32-bit DAC
w/clock
(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))
(programmable for 6/8-bit wide lookup tables)
Attached graphics coprocessor:
Chipset: ATI Mach64
Memory: 8192 Kbytes
xconfigurator also probes my system as a mach64 and
uses the "ati" driver.
i was told to try the r128 driver (in XF86config-4),
but that too doesn't work. when i try that and
attempt to start x, i get either "no screens found" or
"incompatible configurations."
dell's website provided an RPM for the video card. i
also got the XFree86-Mach64 RPM. still, nothing.
load "glx" *is* in my XF86Config-4 file as well.
that's all i know. nothing seems to work here. can
someone please shed the light?
thanks!
