[Dri-users] tdfx_dri.so

[Helge H. <vv...@on...>]

I got slackware-current, with 2.4.5 kernel, and XFree86-4.1.0. Both compiled 
from source. I said no to the DRI questions in the kernel config, couse I've 
heard that I shall use the modules from XFree86 instead. So I downloaded the 
modules from Alahn's homepage. X is starting up, saying

<SNIPP>

(II) TDFX(0): [drm] created "tdfx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0"

<MORE SNIPP>
(II) TDFX(0): installed DRM signal handler
(II) TDFX(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) TDFX(0): Direct rendering enabled
</MORE SNIPP>

</SNIPP>

then I open XFree86, set LIBGL_DEBUG=1, and run glxinfo. Then it complains 
about a missing file.. "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so" Why isn't 
this built with XFree86 when i compile? I got a tip that said I should check 
the "xc/config/hosts.def" (or something similiar), but hosts.def isn't 
included in my source tree.. Why not? I'm 100% sure I've seen it when I 
compiled XFree86-4.0.X (now I'm working with XF-4.1.0). Then anyway, I copied 
the tdfx_dri.so file from my 4.0.3 source, into the 4.1.0 directory. Fire up 
X again, set the debug level to "1", and run glxinfo again. Now it locates 
the file, but complains about wrong version.

"libGL error: 3dfx DRI driver expected DRI version 3.0.x but got version 
4.0.0"

So now I'm stuck again. Anyone got a good tip for me?

BTW: DRI is working fine with the binary installed kernel (2.2.19) and 
XFree86 (4.0.3) that was installed with my slackware-current snapshot from 
01.06.2001. But I dont want to run either 2.2.19, or 4.0.3. I also tried 
using the 2.2.19 with 4.1.0, and 2.4.5 with 4.0.3, without luck. Anybody?
