What version of XFree86 do I need to use the DRI? |
Posted by: Frank |
You
must have at least a base install of XFree86 4.0 to use the DRI. The
base install can be from the XFree86 sources or a binary install. |

Does
the stock XFree86 tree (4.0.2), checked out from xfree86.org's cvs
server, have *a* version of DRI in it? I was under the impression that
the package from this site is a "more current" version, but that there
is base DRI support in vanilla XFree86. Am I mistaken? Do I have to
have the source from this site to enable *any* DRI support? |

Yes,
the stock XFree86 tree does have DRI support in it. It has whatever
version of the DRI was stable&available at the time in it. |

Hi, i'm a newbie to linux too with a voodoo 3 3000 and can not get it to work under linux... Can you please post a guide to newbies of 'How to install DRI drivers' please please please :( |

DRI
is not a driver per se. It is a module for XFree86, so enable Direct
Rendering. Look on this web site at the sample XF86Config. If you are
using red hat you will need to name it XF86Config-4 - sorry Slack
isn't for newbies so you're on your own there. |

Well, I bought a Voodoo5 5500 after 3dfx all ready folded. 'Twas quite a bargain, but I have owned Voodoo2s used in SLI, Voodoo3s and Voodoo4s in the past. Actually, I still have two of each. Anyway, I have run my Voodoo5 under Win98SE, NT 4.0 and SuSE 7.1 Pro. It looks awesome under NT, decent under Windoze 98 and suxors in Linux! :( I didn't expect a lifetime of Linux support when I bought my Voodoo5, but I really had hoped for someone to develop the SLI aspect of it. If I knew anything about programming, I would write the support myself! So is 3dfx gonna renig on their last dying promise? Quote, "and we will continue to support our current and future customers."

Has
anybody tried to install ATI Xpert 2000 PRO TV (chipset is : Rage 128
PRo ULTRA ), Bios version : 113-78209-102. I tried with Redhat 7.1 +
XFree4.1.0. And I failed ... The best I obtained is VGA 16 colors in
640x480. Not fun for a 32 Mb video card. When I try to load the r128
driver, X tells : (EE) No devices detected. |

I recently bought a AIT Radeon DDR, and I'm running RedHat 7.1 and i'm having trouble obtaining 3D support. I have downloaded and installed the DRI package with no success. Could someone who has succesful configured this card please help me. |

Using
an Ati Radeon VE i get maybe 1 fps in, for instance, FlightGear. I've
got Mesa 3.4 installed and i'm running a Thunderbird 1.2Ghz and
Mandrake 8.1. |

Radeon based cards... I have similar problems with the Radeon and poor Open GL support. However, you're not supposed to still have MESA installed if you follwed the XFree86 4.1 install guide with the DRI modules. Anyway, I don't believe that the Radeon is well supported in Linux and it is therefore leading me toward the purchase of a Geforce 3 based card as I know nVidia's drivers work great! |

I
figured out some of the mistakes that I made during my setup of the
Radeon and I'm glad to say this card is working beautifully! |

I have a 32MB PCI Radeon 7000 w/ S-Video out with my bigest mistake ever Lycoris (A Wal-Mart rollback need I say more?). I can run off of my card and even get S-Video out durring initial loading of the kerel, Yet this is the first time I have EVERY used,seen,installed,etc,etc... linux in anyshape and or form. If some one could take the time to help me get my dusty card working I would be deeply in debt. (I don't know what else to add being that I know NOTHING about linux [but installed it anyway], so if you need more info please ask...) |
