I've been tring to get DRI working for my G200 on 440BX w/o much
success. I've compiled linux-2.4.0-test10 with agpgart and dri,
installed the latest X4 debs (including xlibmesa3, xlibosmesa3 &
xserver-xfree86), configured with dexter, made the /dev/agpgart device
(mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175), downloaded mga_drv.o from matrox.com and
tried using it instead of the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o
that comes with X4, all while running X at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I only have
8MB VRAM).
My XF86Config-4 has the Load "dri" and "glx" in the "Module" Section.
Same problem here. I think the problem is deeper, though, from my
xdm.log:
(==) MGA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(II) MGA(0): [drm] bpp: 16 depth: 16
(II) MGA(0): [drm] Sarea 2176+632: 2808
(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) MGA(0): [drm] DRIScreenInit Failed
<buncha 2d stuff>
(II) MGA(0): direct rendering disabled
Haven't had a chance to look at why. (As amazingly fast as Utah-GLX was
on 3.3.6, I gave up running it when it kept killing X during one of the
screensavers, so I'm used to software GL.)
AHHHHH. Thank you for that comment!
I went and checked out my /var/log/XFree86.0.log
and my system was running at 32bpp when I intended 16bpp by:
startx -- -bpp 16 which doesn't work!
According to man startx, use:
startx -- -depth 16
I started up X and success!
display: :0.0 screen:0
direct rendering: Yes <--- FINALLY!
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
