Well, that says it. I used to have a Rage card. What you probably need is the mach64 fork of the DRI fork. I forgot the home page for that one. But our friendly Debian maintainer also has the modules properly debianized: http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-mach64/ http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-mach64-sid/ [...] > ...??? Needed for http://flightgear.org/ ... Beware, the Rage (or at least its opensource Linux drivers) appears to be incapable of handling Chromium in any but the smallest and ugliest video mode (and even then it has problems coping with the explosions). I can play graphically-impaired GLTron with it though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
