[Dri-users] Annoying Support Questions.

[Perl M. <web...@pe...>]

Greets.
I'm having a spot of trouble getting GL applications to work with
hardware acceleration.
I'm running linux 2.4.9 (with the TDFX driver built-in) and Xf86 4.2.0
(binary version downloaded and installed just today)
I have configured X to load GLX and DRI and get the following little bit
of happiness and joy in my XFree86.0.log

(II) TDFX(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(II) TDFX(0): [DRI] installation complete
(==) TDFX(0): Direct rendering enabled

yay! everything should be working now, right? right?
apparently not, according to glxinfo:

perlmonkee:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No

and just Incas your curious, glxinfo happens to be linked to:

        libGLU.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0x40021000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40094000)

So... What, may I ask, Is the problem here?
why is it that X can start direct rendering, yet no application can use
it?

Any help anyone sees fit to offer would be _most_ appreciated.


Thank you,
