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
...

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.

Why can't I view bug 25890?

I found the problem with the build, it's an issue with the SPEC file:

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!
