jeff i got the 64mb radeon 7500 working ; ) type glxinfo and mail me the output. it seems that if you have installed DRI, you are probably using the libMesaVoodoo.so libs, which are innapropriate for the card. these seem to have been automatically installed with the libopenGLsuite. so you must delete all libMesaVoodoo libs that also might be in there as they are given priority. then you must insert 'radeon' into modules.conf. once you have done this edit your XFree86config to read within section module:
-- Load "glx" Load "dri" # then make a new section called dri Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection -- Mode 0666 is critical as it allow you to use the libgl libraries. then restart x. type glxgears into the term and you should have at least 800frames per second performance at 320x240. for reference, attached is my XFree86config. i have *never seen 3d work so beautifully under linux. whips the dell geforce2go in performance! cheers, de|ire -- , variables aren't ___ ___ ___ / / / / / /.--| |.-----constants weren't |__|.----.-----. ,' ,',' ,',' ,' | _ || - -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBDzZwzERBADs1JTlOud9116TR8aKUzgu9Kdm4UWmEnTYTIA1bcvnZH24Nm+x cMf48haT0O5OdajhMwy5vccGQn21J1yBBfx7w5Di7D5Bh1BbO+5uz5YhDBxxRJ0y 4kvEYNCyFz8Sfl1jvG5W980Ax3j2UquqnJlNxBgwZnE16/12bSMPxGRZLwCglpEt K/1u7qAfx4gyO91HSw0a3xkD/0m11rWUNj1cBUeGqGEcjDUWInegpxquMsu7W72I /KD8iKzgttz1m6GEVuN15+y0MxiwmIuuAC74d/moebuPYpawXnaTejzwRPsPZyKn JZ+vf5KNfNE/SgweRcrjPfyVHv/pdE+MTCGtQGF3vf3kTSFrBOLTKKnOxPSpmlNS hFPkA/9rUXsdeJMzdCBVfuPqcu63NdTfGoRQ1KD/ATuULGf3z7tOWe2hBlv2DDhv 2JJMGGTr1mMQjUKdd6+/34RmMsZip3d4lS4VCWFWzvXGgkhyrHFY+QIC8i4RHsPF +rbqXTOjeaRspLSXW+thULz2DBWZPTSDANApZMJ94S+IuF0ufbQgSnVsaWFuIE9s aXZlciA8ZGVsaXJlQGRlbGlyZS5jej6IVwQTEQIAFwUCPNnDMQULBwoDBAMVAwID FgIBAheAAAoJEJq3ySAJ5WfrIJ0An3g9+Ea8S/JQu9lIhLW0mdaA0aI2AJ9mXDUn ODUuTtOfjlNt96y+jjpRTLkBDQQ82cMzEAQAqNQ3y2m6Gj25j16L9pWOBXiFBY8y sRGiWc4JBtsSpk7xuAN9F1lq4W6BbznTdJDIAQe6jmQrJTBYwZCbiuBmFL4o+F45 nvYg6fifw291sO7MDyKpJ2I81cH9fz4YqhFLcsYz2tzAWp4w9CjafNIPoWRwli/I PIC+Tf4QeJyunpsAAwUD/jFFokEPg5cbf0R35TQPzDVnbvMjSiWy4EXtBleObPSK BLi+UApjuXeY8296bYvZPKhk2f27YfPfTEkUlInRuyejIUp9xcmwoH9pEhFca8IP Ot6tDSNNbqpY7EjYjbAytaV4n7GdxVQkXItMrJJZoM1Qb9YlgpF546GkCYfk02EW iEUEGBECAAYFAjzZwzMACgkQmrfJIAnlZ+tF1wCY2pbdg12S/mo9Rltc6IUt1VzA mACglLUDtZ/vCMs9NaG4X4Sdf5cxjHI= =Yf7u -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
