my XF86Config-4 is available here: http://hspowers.inland.k12.mi.us/XF86Config-4
using "ati" or "r128" makes no difference, because "ati" automatically detects what to use.
Again, I have an iBook -- but I think the video hardware is identical. (Just different resolution, and I'm clueless in that regard)

cheers for the tips. I reconfigured xfree and chose the fbdev xserver driver. I still only got 150 ish fps from glxgears. glxinfo says...snip... direct rendering: No ...snip... I have read that i need this to be enabled for acceleration to take place. How can i enable it? I tried choosing the r128 driver from the dpkg xserver menu instead of fbdev but x fails to start (i believe it said 'cannot read V_BIOS') Am now trying to recompile the kernel with the r128 drm module and agpart enabled. cheers matthew On Sat, 18 Jan 2003 10:43:24 -0500 Shawn Powers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:ahh -- there are more detailed messages about what I had to do to get opengl working on my ibook (with a rage128) but basically, I had to set my colors to 16bit rather than 24 bit... that was the deciding factor. If you have a rage128 you DON'T need dri-trunk or anything like that, and honestly, that whole bit confused me as well. you can just run dpkg-reconfigure xfree86 (that's not the actual package name, i don't remember off-hand, and I'm stuck on a windows machine right now) It'll ask you a bunch of stuff, you want 16bit color, and you DO want it to add the DRI part. after that, restart xwindows and run glxinfo, it should say direct hardware rendering = yes. Also, you can run glxgears, and those puppies should be spinning like mad (300 fps or so) Good luck, if you can't figure it out -- I'll be happy to help more. It took me a long time to get it, hopefully my struggles will help you. :) (The big key was the 16 bit color) -Shawn[EMAIL PROTECTED]
