There is a Xfree86 4.3 version in experimental. There are also debian versions of the cvs dri trunk for X (you may need experimental version for them since there are some directory differences. I tried using the regular binaries with debian version and didn't work). Look at http://www.retinalburn.net under the binary downloads look at the bleeding edge link and there are directions for debian. There are also new proprietry drivers from ati which should cover Radeon 9000 iirc and support dri. Try googling for firegl and linux. > The closest instructions I found about this are at: > http://space.virgilio.it/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/debian/fglrx-installer.html > but what I get from X's logs are: > > (II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed > (EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed! > (WW) fglrx(0): *********************************************** > (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * > (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * > (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * > (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available * > (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* * > (II) fglrx(0): FBADPhys: 0xd4000000 FBMappedSize: 0x04000000 > (==) fglrx(0): Write-combining range (0xd4000000,0x4000000) > (II) fglrx(0): FBMM initialized for area (0,0)-(1280,8191) > (II) fglrx(0): FBMM auto alloc for area (0,0)-(1280,1024) (front color buffer > - assumption) > > Which I assume means that I have 2D speedup but no 3D speedup, > and indeed glgears doesn't run faster with this driver than without > it (about 500 fps). > > I've put some relevant files and program outputs at: > http://192.117.105.145/xfree-linux-il-question-031019 > > Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated, > > Thanks, > > --Amos > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
