Relevant email information :- tdfx.o kernel mod loaded right bits enabled in the XFree86-4 file However there seems to be a few inconsistancies as per the DRI Howto.. Running glxinfo I get :- ... OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4 ... Which as per the DRI User guide, means theres no hardware acceleration happening.. Also theres no /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so and theres no non-Mesa libGL.so (Which the user guide also mentions). It states glxinfo should say something like this .. ... OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Voodoo3 20000224 OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4 ... Created attachment 9060 [details]

I am seeing this problem as well. I think it has to do entirely with the missing tdfx_dri.so driver. We (Red Hat) should really try to fix this before next release. I agree with cook -- the problem is the missing 3dfx dri driver in the XFree RPM: [root@gibraltar /root]# export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose [root@gibraltar /root]# glxinfo libGL: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libGL: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory As a long shot, I tried the XFree86-glide-module RPM from mandrake cooker, which includes the module. The errors went away, but it didn't work. If this can't be fixed the Release Notes claiming 3d support for 3dfx should be changed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25890 *** Why can't I view bug 25890? I found the problem with the build, it's an issue with the SPEC file: --- XFree86.spec Tue Feb 6 11:11:31 2001 +++ XFree86.spec.fixed Tue Feb 6 11:10:56 2001 @@ -443,7 +443,7 @@ %if %{BuildTdfx} %ifarch %{ix86} alpha ia64 - #define HasGlide3 YES +#define HasGlide3 YES %endif %endif You can't have "tabs" leading a "#define" line for Imake. As a result, this define never got defined. Just take out the tab, and rebuild the rpm (I'm doing this now....) Resolved in my latest build. Will appear in Rawhide sometime soon. I'm having difficulty finding an updated package on ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide . Am I looking in the wrong place? It's not there in -9. Reopening. It is there in -10 and -11. Reclosing. Works for me on wolverine with the XFree86-4.0.2-9.2 package. Excellent! |
