Hello, I'm currently running Ubuntu Linux on an IBM T20 (Thinkpad) notebook. The graphics card inside it is an S3 Savage IX and I'm looking to setup DRI support. I was initially informed that DRI comes installed with Ubuntu but shortly thereafter realized that even if it did, it didn't seem to be supporting my card. I checked the Wiki on DRI's site and it claims to support the card. My xorg.conf seems to be in order, the graphics card is defined properly, and there's a short section in there setting DRI's mode to 0666. However, when I run ./glxinfo it says that direct rendering support is a no-go, as does ./xdriinfo which reports - "Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Screen 0: not direct rendering capable." Any help would be appreciated, I'm lost as to what to try. Thank you, Joseph Bleau --=20 Life is but a beta version of hell. |

Alex ps, FWIW, the the updated xorg binary supports dualhead now too. > Here's a link to my xorg.conf > http://www.ninwa.net/xorg.txt >=20 > Thanks in advance, > Joseph Bleau >=20 > On 6/13/05, Alex Deucher <ale...@gm...> wrote: > > On 6/13/05, Joseph Bleau <jb...@gm...> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > I'm currently running Ubuntu Linux on an IBM T20 (Thinkpad) notebook. > > > The graphics card inside it is an S3 Savage IX and I'm looking to > > > setup DRI support.

The drm needs to build against your current kernel, so you need a copy of your source or at least your kernel headers and your current kernel config.
