You need to make sure you have this modules compiled and avaialble: /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o
as well as the X11R6 drivers. The stock 2.4.18 woody kernel doesn't have DRM configured, so you can either install the 2.4.18 XFS kernel which does have the modules or recompile your own version of the 2.4.18-newpmac. The simplest way to keep the stock kernel and add DRI is to copy the /boot/config-2.4.18-newpmac to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/ rename it .config and then, in the source directory, enter make-kpkg kernel-image --config menuconfig this will start the kernel building process based on your copied .config file. Then, find the DRI module configuration in the menu under drivers/char/ and select to build the drm-4 r128 module and dri support. You don't have to confiure anything else unless you want to really taylor your own kernel. exit and save the configuration. and let it do its stuff (an hour on my imac 500) when it is built, cd .. dpkg -i <new kernel>.deb and that will install your new kernel and modules and copy your old kernel to vmlinux.old Reboot and you should be OK. joss On Sat, Aug 17, 2002 at 01:24:39PM +0200, Arthur Petit wrote: > On Saturday 17 August 2002 03:18, ccos wrote: > > hello, > > > > > OpenGL support is a matter of the graphics chip rather than the machine. > > > Shouldn't be a problem with a Rage128 or Radeon, but there might never > > > be support for nVidia chips. > > > > why do you say there may never be support? > > is apple planning on switching chips again? > > > > does anybody have opengl and/or sound running smoothly on either: > > > > an 867 with a rage or radeon chip? > > an ibook/600 (dual usb) w/ an Aty, RageM3p29s display card? > > > hi again, > I'm very sorry, i know i'm very boring but i sow the thread about the r128 > mod and i didn't understand what to do for my powerbook g3 500 and i really > need the 3D acceleration for my OpenGL programs.... > there is > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.o > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r128_dri.so > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so > > thanks... > > Arthur > > what about other distrib > > > > thanks much, > > c > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
