So how to enable this direct rendering on system. pls. remember I have alloted 64MB(128 total) video ram in my BIOS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
The XFree86 present in Red Hat Linux 7.0 is quite ancient, and does not have very good support for DRI at all. It was basically the very first XFree86 4.x release, and the first implementation of DRI. I strongly suggest not using Red Hat Linux 7.0 at this time for any new installations, in particular where X is being used. XFree86 in 7.0 is in security-fix-only mode right now, and no other updates are planned for XFree86 in that old distro version. It is strongly recommended that you use Red Hat Linux 8.0 or 7.3 instead for best support of this hardware. If you're unable to do so for some reason currently, please make sure that your system is completely up to date with all Red Hat released updates for Red Hat Linux 7.0, including XFree86 updates, kernel, and all other packages. You may find that the latest updates already fix the problem you are having. Does upgrading to the latest packages work for you ok? If not, please attach your X server log and config file and I'll have a look at it. Again though, you're strongly advised to install Red Hat Linux 8.0 instead. Hope this helps.
Please upgrade to current release (8.0)
