[Dri-devel] NVidia on AMD, Radeon on 440BX, and Mach64 Devel

[Gurmukh S. <gs...@ca...>]

	I can report that  NVidia Cards w/ binary drivers work well
on the AMD 761 chipset and are actually more stable than on
a Intel Chipset (440BX/440GX).
	I am also having another problem, this is on a Dell
Machine (440BX chipset w/ 2x500MHz CPU's and the Radeon's
{can you guess where they came from ;) }).  DRI works well,
but whenever I switch to a text console, my X locks up and I
cannot see the text console either.  This only happens
when DRI is enabled.  I think that there is a vga=xxx
line in lilo.  Also how do you disable
DPMS in the Radeon and simply tell it to blank screen,
because the monitor is making a weird clicking noise (Sony
GDM400PS)?  On another machine (same setup, but different
kernel, the monitor goes out of scan range).
	Also, is there a patched version of XFree86 4.1.0
which has the developmental Mach64 support in it?  I am also
on a Omnibook 6000 mailing list and they are quite keen on
having 3D acceleration.  I am not really a C programmer,
but I can hack code to make it work.  Good Luck to Mach64
developers and thanks.
