[Glide-patches] fb problems --- Glide2x DRI any progress ?

[Guglielmo P. <gp...@om...>]

Hi,
I'm running Linux 2.4.0 with XFree4.0.2 on a K6-2 500 MHz
Voodoo3-2K(AGP). I start Linux using the VESA--Linux logo --enabled
fb device and with init5 (xdm (in fact kdm2) enabled.)

I noticed that the console is corrupt and also the if I launch
another X session (startx -- :1) everything is corrupt. Is it a bug
somewhere or a problem with the fb enabled ?

in my kernel I've checked the options
agpart ALi ... chip (I've a P5A Asus mainboard)
and the fb for Voodoo3 device.

----
Another problem. Before I used to open a su session in an xterm,
from which I launched X apps. Now I get an Xlib message as I don't own the
graphic device (I'm root after a su, so shouldn't I have all the permissions
?)
an the application aborts. Where can I modify things for being able to
recover
the old way.

I've updated PAM, maybe I've forgotten something ? Or is it while upgrading
to glibc-2.2 or to XFree4 ?

----
Last. Where has the development of Glide2x DRI come up to now ? Is it
continuing, Can we have snapshots of the current status ? Any chance by now
to see it out one day ?

Thanks in advance
Sincerely yours,
            Pasa Guglielmo
