What distro & version was your DRI working previously? The config file attached and the logfile attached do not seem to line up. Your X server log does not anywhere try to load the DRI module, however the config file explicitly lists it. Also, the log file shows: (WW) R128(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 9216 kB video memory (II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled Lower your resolution and/or color depth. Try using 16 bit color. Does this change things? I'm fairly certain accelerated 3D was working fine at 1024x768x24bpp in RH7.2, but in any case it works now with 16bpp. A programmer comment on another Bugzilla entry by a Voodoo3 owner mentioned that the driver had been changed to turn off DRI if insufficient memory was available on the card... This laptop has a working AGP implementation, and in the past I've been able to play any number of hardware-accelerated 3D games without difficulty, so perhaps the driver is being too conservative about the amount of memory it needs? Thanks anyway :) That is specific solely to the Voodoo 3 and Banshee, and is a specific limitation of the hardware/driver combination. AGP hardware with AGP textures are not limited by the physical video card memory. Can you attach your /var/log/messages file, from system bootup, until you've started XFree86 completely? That could help determine if there are GART issues. If the GART wont load, then DRI wont work either. The agpgart and r128 modules are loading without issue... Like I said accelerated 3D is *working* now with 16-bit colour, I just wish I could use it with 24-bit. :) Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: agpgart: Detected Intel 440BX chipset Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf4000000 Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel 440BX @ 0xf4000000 64MB Apr 15 09:39:58 onus kernel: [drm] Initialized r128 2.2.0 20010917 on minor 0 It has been a while since the topic came up, but I believe the r128 does not support 3D accel in 24bpp. I'll have to confirm that by examining the driver source and chip specs. Make sure you are using the RHL 7.3 i586, i686 or athlon kernel. The i386 kernel does not have DRM in it. Please confirm you are using our 2.4.18-5 one of our i586/i686/athlon kernels (current updated erratum). Assuming problem no longer occurs in XFree86 4.2.0-72, and closing as fixed in RAWHIDE. If the problem still exists, please reopen, and supply above requested test results, info, etc. |
