From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051018 Epiphany/1.8.2 Description of problem: After installing from the current rawhide tree, modular X ist installed. There is no 3D acceleration although the Savage chips seem to be supported now. According to the X log file, everything should be fine: "(II) SAVAGE(0): Direct rendering enabled". However, even after rebuilding GL screensavers and "ppracer", 3D acceleration is clearly not available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mesa-libGL-6.4-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch some Open GL application. Actual Results: 3D graphics is awfully slow. Expected Results: 3D graphics should be accelerated. Additional info: Before reinstalling my system, I had used my hoembrewn, monolithic Xorg 6.9RC1 RPMs. Here, 3D acceleration was excellent even for the latest rawhide tree before the move to modular X. It seems, that the Mesa tree is not the right one. enabling verbose output, one obtains for "ppracer" the following output: [test]$ env LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose /usr/bin/ppracer PPRacer 0.3.1 -- http://racer.planetpenguin.de (c) 2004-2005 The PPRacer team (c) 1999-2001 Jasmin F.

Running "strings /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 | grep X11R6" yields "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri" which seems to confirm my earlier conjecture.
A symlink from "/usr/lib/dri" to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri" for testing purposes allows to recover hardware acceleration. This confirms my previous guess of an internal "Mesa" build problem.
