Hello: After lots of work, I finally got my ATI Rage Mobility M1 (agp) to work with the DRI drivers (a la Mach64) in Redhat 8.0. Unfortunately, every time I reboot the computer, and then start up X, it doesn't turn on Hardware Acceleration. So then I have to reinstall the drivers, and start up X. This seems like somewhere a module isn't loading or something, but I checked, and the XF86config isn't changing at all, and the mach64 driver is still getting loaded (by using 'lsmod'), it just isn't getting used. When I run glxinfo, it tells me that it is using the Mesa Indirect driver to render. However, after I reinstall the mach64 drivers, and then start up X, everything works fine. Does anyone have a suggestion for what isn't remaining resident? I thought it might be the agpgart module, but even when I do load that up before starting xwindows (using insmod), it doesn't help the problem. Suggestions? Cameron Hummels |

Did you add something like: below mach64 agpgart to your /etc/modules.conf file helps. (I'm assuming you have an AGP card). If not please sen the full /var/log/XFree86.0.log. The answer should lie there. José Fonseca __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
