Re: [Dri-users] Matrox G450 rendering is slow
|

I solved my problem with X using software acceleration instead of hardware
for my Matrox G450 by upgrading to SuSE 7.3. This distro has taken
great care to make this all just work.
Basically, all I did was to set SCRIPT_3D="switch2xf86_glx" in
/etc/rc.config and then run SuSEconfig and sax2. Here are the highlights:
from /etc/rc.config:
#
# This variable specifies the script to execute to create the necessary
# symbolic links to the correct OpenGL libraries/extensions. These scripts
# are located in /usr/X11R6/bin. The possible values are:
#
# "no" : Do not execute any script!
# "switch2mesasoft" : Mesa software emulation (works for all graphic boards)
# "switch2mesa3dfx" : Mesa/Glide
# "switch2glx" : XFree86 3.x/Utah-GLX
# "switch2nvidia_glx" : XFree86 4.x/NVIDIA_GLX (NVIDIA_GLX/NVIDIA_kernel)
# "switch2xf86_glx" : XFree86 4.x/DRI
#
# You can find out which script you have to use for your graphic board with
# the program "3Ddiag".
#
SCRIPT_3D="switch2xf86_glx"
This is the meat and potatos of what /usr/X11R6/bin/switch2xf86_glx does:
( cd $DIR/../../lib
ln -sf GL/libGL.so.1.2.xf86_glx libGL.so.1
ln -sf libGL.so.1 libMesaGL.so.3
rm -f libGLcore.so.1
/sbin/lspci -n|grep -q -i "121a:000[35]" && \
ln -sf glide/libglide3.so.3.voodoo3 libglide3.so.3
/sbin/lspci -n|grep -q -i "121a:0009" && \
ln -sf glide/libglide3.so.3.voodoo45 libglide3.so.3
)
( cd $DIR/../lib/modules/extensions
ln -sf libGLcore.a.xf86_glx libGLcore.a
ln -sf libglx.a.xf86_glx libglx.a
rm -f libglx.so
)
the results:

3Ddiag run with the --dri option will confirm that /etc/rc.config contains
SCRIPT_3D="switch2xf86_glx"
and that the various links created by /usr/X11R6/bin/switch2xf86_glx are
all intact
This is the output of 3Ddiag:
