[Dri-users] Some errors I get with MGA

[Dan O. <do...@ra...>]

Hello,
  After a hard time installing DRI (mostly due to my own errors, and not the
documentation) I am now having problems getting the 3D acceleration to work.
Last night, the mga.o module would not load.  I was getting an error message
about not being able to allocate memory for it.  I ran 'strip mga.o' (even
though I did not compile with debugging symbols), which reduced the size of the
module and allowed me to 'insmod' it properly.  Please observe:
	pc045106:/home/dolson# lsmod 
	Module                  Size  Used by
	mga                   100200   0  (unused)
The '(unused)' bothers me a little, but not as much as it not loading did. :)
Now, I start my DRI X server, and still get Mesa Indirect rendering.  Looking
at the log, I see these messages:
--------------------------------------------

So then, is this enough information for anyone to determine just what my problem
is?

Thank you very much.
