[Dri-users] S3 Savage IX (Notebook, IBM T20)

[Joseph B. <jb...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm currently running Ubuntu Linux on an IBM T20 (Thinkpad) notebook.
The graphics card inside it is an S3 Savage IX and I'm looking to
setup DRI support. I was initially informed that DRI comes installed
with Ubuntu but shortly thereafter realized that even if it did, it
didn't seem to be supporting my card. I checked the Wiki on DRI's site
and it claims to support the card. My xorg.conf seems to be in order,
the graphics card is defined properly, and there's a short section in
there setting DRI's mode to 0666. However, when I run ./glxinfo it
says that direct rendering support is a no-go, as does ./xdriinfo
which reports -

"Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Screen 0: not direct rendering capable."

Any help would be appreciated, I'm lost as to what to try.

Thank you,
Joseph Bleau
