[Dri-users] Almost got voodoo3+XFree864.0 working

[Bill B. <bi...@ma...>]

I've have a redhat-6.0/glibc-2.1/3dfx-voodoo3 2000 system almost working.

I'm trying to follow the documentation very closely at:
http://www.xfree86.org/4.0/DRI.html

I'll include my step by step details and suggestions, numbers are from
the DRI doc:

#4  Prerequisite Software

> Linux kernel 2.2.x (later kernels will be supported in the near future, and 
> may be required for some chipsets) 

This seems incorrect.  Question 5 states you must load a DRI module
which I believe is linux-2.3 dependent.

#5 load module, check:
[drm] Initialized tdfx 0.0.1 19991009 on minor 63

#5.2 XF86Config file, I grabbed it from 
	http://dri.sourceforge.net/resources/XF86Config.voodoo3

#6.4 took me some searching to find glxinfo (might want to put a url in the
	DRI doc, I found glxinfo at:
	http://dri.sourceforge.net/resources/glxinfo 

Result:
OpenGL vendor string: Precision Insight, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.3 beta

Sounds like software acceleration to me.

I found http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=102441&group_id=387
Which says no kernels later then 2.3.45 will work.  So I'm running 2.3.44.

I'll attach my /var/log/XF* file for further perusal.  Seems like
I've done everything in the docs but I still get:
(==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x2000000)
(II) TDFX(0): Textures Memory 7.93 MB

        Screen to screen bit blits
        Solid filled rectangles

        Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion

        Dashed Lines
        Offscreen Pixmaps
        Driver provided NonTEGlyphRenderer replacement
        Setting up tile and stipple cache:

(==) TDFX(0): Backing store disabled
(==) TDFX(0): Silken mouse enabled
(II) TDFX(0): direct rendering disabled
===============================^^^^^^^^

Any help, suggestions, requests for additional info requested and
appreciated, thanks.

Just in case I'll include my XFree86.voodoo3 file but it's almost
identical to the one mentioned above (except for emulate3button)
