[Dri-users] DRI New User question, libGLU

[Matt H. <mh...@op...>]

Hi, I am trying to get DRI up and running with my G400, Single Head, OEM, 
32 MB so that I can use Blender in its new game mode.  First I compiled the 
latest kernel (2.4.0-test5) with DRI support for the G400, aggart and 
mtrrs.  I then installed the packaged version of xfree 4.01, downloading 
all its files.  After quite a bit of frustration with the configuration, I 
got X up and running.  i ran the new version of blender (16 bit color so i 
get hw acceleration).

I got no segfaults but it didnt really work either.  The section of the 
screen under the cursor was drawn (but without any buttons).  The other 
sections were either black or grey.  Buttons were only displayed after the 
mouse was moved on each one.  Then they would sporatically disappear.  I 
went through some of the diagnostics in the users guide.  The versions of 
some of the libraries didnt seem right.  The users guide said that Mesa was 
not needed so I then blew away mesa with all the libraries (to make sure I 
was using the right versions) and reinstalled xfree.  I tried to run 
blender again. It complained that it couldnt find libGLU.so.  My question 
there is... Are there special versions of the Mesa libraries that I need to 
be using with the DRI or is it included?  Should I install a particular 
version of Mesa and then reinstall xfree?

As far as the first problem, has anyone been successful with blender under 
xfree 4 and dri with the G400?  What information do I need to get to try to 
get this working?  My machine is a 650 MHz Athlon with a MS K7Pro MB 
(Viper/Irongate Chipset), 256 MB Ram.

Thanks for any help

Matt
