[Dri-users] Re: [Dri-devel] New: DRI compilation and user guides

[Adam K K. <ad...@vo...>]

	Something important to stress in the user guide is the steps that
are necessary to get from a working 4.0 system to a working 4.0 system
that supports direct rendering...  For example, when I compiled 4.0 from
source, I never got tdfx_dri.so for some reason.  (Was this a deliberate
exclusion on XFree86's part, or a configuration error on my part? Will
binary build automatically have this file?) I had to grab the file from my
tree for CVS builds.
	Where will people be able to get, say, r128_dri.so, since 4.0
obviously hasn't shipped with support for those cards? (Perhaps this would
be better addressed, though, once there are more direct rendering
drivers).
