Well, I finally got around to setting up X 4.1 and DRI/DRM yesterday so I can play all the Loki games that I've bought. Still having a couple problems with it, although it is functioning:
- The final step I had to take was fixing some device permissions. /dev/dri/ and /dev/dri/card0 were owned by root.root, preventing normal users from getting at DRI, so I changed them to root.video (which matches /dev/agpgart). However, the ownership reverts to root.root on reboot (and I see that it reverted overnight also). What is doing this (AFAICT, it's not logging its activity) and how do I make it stop? (I've also been having similar problems with my laptop for a while now, with all the audio devices having their permissions reset to 000 when it reboots.) - It seems that, should a DRI-using program (game) crash while running in full-screen mode, it retains its hold on the display. Is there any way to get out of DRI mode and back to normal operation without having to reboot the machine? -- With the arrest of Dimitry Sklyarov it has become apparent that it is not safe for non US software engineers to visit the United States. - Alan Cox "To prevent unauthorized reading..." - Adobe eBook reader license
