Re: [Mesa3d-users] configuring Mesa 3.2 with Glide 2.53-6

[Michael V. <mi...@mj...>]

I'm not sure about which chipset the Diamond Monster uses (too lazy to
check), but I use a standard STB Voodoo3 2K. I had to specifically hunt
down the very latest Mesa3Dfx sources - the one that had the install
directories changed to /usr/lib rather than the /usr/X11R6/lib
directory. Not only did the newer incarnation work well with SoF, it
seemed to make things easier for everything else. If you don't want to
go through the trouble, try symlinking your libs or copying your libs to
/usr/lib (the libGL, libGLU and libglut files specifically - I had used
the .so.1 files to good success) and see if that helps. You can load
Device3Dfx without Mesa installed, so that's really no indicator of
whether it's working or not. Additionally, get the surf and donut demos
from the Linux Glide site and try them. If they work and apps like SoF
or Q3 works full screen without problems, you may want to consider
checking the bug reports of the trouble apps. Oh yeah - I put export
MESA_GLX_FX="fullscreen" in my /etc/profile so I didn't have to type it
all the time. That's required for some of the demos (like those in the
3Dfx/demos directory) to run fullscreen and hardware accelerated. But
it's not required that you enter it into your /etc/profile - you can
type it at the command line and have it work fine...

I assume you ran rpm -e Mesa --nodeps and rpm -e Mesa-devel --nodeps
before installing the 3Dfx version of Mesa?

I'm currently struggling to get a Mesa3.3 made into an RPM. 3.2 still
leaves some transluscent doors in SoF and I've already verified that 3.3
doesn't have that bug. I'm using last nights snapshot - it compiles fine
from tar.gz, but editing spec files is not my specialty... If anyone has
rpms for i386 or src.rpms available for download, please let me know...

Thanks,
Mike
