Using Redhat 9.0 and a radeon 9100, I'm come to the conclusion that probably the only way to get this card to work in DRI on my machine is to get the latest source of xfree86 and compile it with DRI. How would I go about doing that? The quide on dri.sf.net is kinda vague. Any other tips on working with DRI? Hows the weather? How's School? Thanks. first-thought//giver-of-will |

If you want binaries, you can either grab a snapshot of DRI CVS from: http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ or you can grab xfree86 CVS binaries here: http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ or here (including mergedfb): http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/cvs-2003-7-31/final/ --- first-thought//giver-of-will <ft...@m-...> wrote: > Using Redhat 9.0 and a radeon 9100, I'm come to the conclusion that > probably the only way to get this card to work in DRI on my machine > is to > get the latest source of xfree86 and compile it with DRI.

I have no idea how to do that. But then again I have no idea how to work CVS. First, could you please gimme a quick and dirty, or long if you will, explanation of CVS? What is a CVS tree? From what I understood CVS was for getting the source, anywho, thanks. first-thought//giver-of-will On Fri, 29 Aug 2003, Alex Deucher wrote: > If you want binaries, you can either grab a snapshot of DRI CVS from: > http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ > or you can grab xfree86 CVS binaries here: > http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ > or here (including mergedfb): > http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/cvs-2003-7-31/final/ > > > --- first-thought//giver-of-will <ft...@m-...> wrote: > > Using Redhat 9.0 and a radeon 9100, I'm come to the conclusion that > > probably the only way to get this card to work in DRI on my machine > > is to > > get the latest source of xfree86 and compile it with DRI.

CVS (http://www.cvshome.org/) is a source code version control system. it eases the task of keeping track of cahnges in code trees. for the binaries I've listed below, all you need to do is copy thing into your X installation. if you want to compile X from CVS you'll need to pull down a local copy of a CVS tree and then compile the code. Check out the documentation on the xfree86 or DRI web pages for how to do this. Alex --- first-thought//giver-of-will <ft...@m-...> wrote: > I have no idea how to do that.

AFAIK RedHat 9.0 comes with XFree86 4.3. This should support your Radeon 9100 including 3D support. Newer snapshots or CVS sources may fix some bugs but you should try to get DRI working before you start diving deeper into development issues. If you can't get DRI working you can send some more information that helps us find out what's wrong: /var/log/XFree86.0.log XF86Config-4 output from "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" Regards, Felix On Fri, 29 Aug 2003 13:42:12 -0400 (EDT) first-thought//giver-of-will <ft...@m-...> wrote: > Using Redhat 9.0 and a radeon 9100, I'm come to the conclusion that > probably the only way to get this card to work in DRI on my machine is to > get the latest source of xfree86 and compile it with DRI.
