[Mesa3d-users] Voodoo5 and Mesa DRI

[Chris S. <ch...@ap...>]

Hello,

I have a Voodoo5 5500 AGP card in a dual proc PIII system. I recently
upgraded to Fedora 10 and noticed that some 3D OpenGL apps are running
very poor.  In Fedora 8 everything had been performing great.  Now for
instance, running glxgears comes to about 45 fps, and when enlarging the
window to my full screen it goes down to 16 fps, which makes me believe
somehow hardware acceleration is not working.  I have the mesa-libGL and
Glide3 packages installed as recommended by Fedora which is supposed to
provide direct DRI support with Mesa for the Voodoo5.  glxinfo is giving:

libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
...
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.3-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.10

What concerns me is the renderer string shows "Software Rasterizer"...
isn't this supposed to show "Mesa DRI..."?

I have read through the documentation and at this point I'm completely
lost.  If anybody could shed some light on this or get me started in the
right direction I would be very happy.

Thanks in advance!!
