[gentoo-dev] voodoo 3 300 && DRI?

[gentoo-dev] voodoo 3 300 && DRI?

[Tom von Schwerdtner]

I havent the foggiest clue why, but I dont seem to have hardware accel with 
my Voodoo 3 3000.

I have agpart and 3dfx items compiled into the kernel, and the X.log looks 
good....I built media-libs/glide-v3 (it looked right) and the latest 
X....but no accel.

Anyone else running Voodoo 3 or 5?

TIA,
-Tom

dont have one, dont use dri, but hope this can be usefull.

to enable dri, it should be compiled into the kernel 

  Character devices:
     [*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)
     [*]   Build drivers for new (XFree 4.1) DRM
     <*>   3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+

that is just to have the kernel DRI module ...

Now, to het accel support in X, in theory you should just
to you XF86Config file, add:

Section "Module"
......
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "glx"             #not sure about this one
        Load  "GLcore"
........
    EndSection

X should have its own mesa libs, so not needed to compile glide-v3, but
dont quote me on this.

3dfx does not seem to get much attention on Gentoo so I would be very
interested in the answer to this as well. The only way I have been able
to do this on Redhat, Debian and Gentoo is to follow the instructions on
http://dri.sourceforge.net/
They have a very good compilation and debugging guide. Trouble is you
end up working outside the packaging system. The problem that I usually
had was that mesa's libgl would not be accelerated. You have to use the
one that get built with XFree86. Good luck.
