[tuxracer-main] ATI Rage Pro (iMac OEM) with Tux Racer

[Evan R. <er...@ne...>]

Hey all.

I compiled the Utah GLX software against Mesa 3.1 source.  I had actually
already installed Mesa (I didn't read the Utah instructions properly - I
couldn't, after reading them see a probelm with this).

I added the items listed in the README to my XF86Config and also some
instruction pertaining to Mach 64 there too. According to the README:



The module entry should look like this:

Section "Module"
        < possible other modules >
        Load "glx.so"
EndSection


The Rage Pro device section should look like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI|3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X"
        < other options >
        Option          "no_font_cache"
        Option          "no_pixmap_cache"
EndSection


This is what mine looklike:

I added this (didn't have a module section before):

Section "Module"
        Load "glx.so"
EndSection


And changed my device to this:

# Device setup for OpenGL

Section "Device" 
        Identifier      "ATI|3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X"
        Option          "no_font_cache"
        Option          "no_pixmap_cache"
EndSection

# Device configured by Xconfigurator:

# Section "Device"
#    Identifier  "ATY Mach64"
#    VendorName  "Unknown"
#    BoardName   "Unknown"
#    #VideoRam    6287   
#    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
# EndSection

(you will see that I commented out the old one).



Obviously I am still on software rendering because I get 0.0 FPS ;)  I
figure this must have something to do with the  file.  I tried the
defaults from the glx.conf file (left it unedited) but was slow as all
hell.  So I then edited the crap out of it and uncommented option they
reckoned would maximise  performance.  Still 0.0 FPS ;)

I tried something that I saw on the list, that is EXPORT
MESA_GLX_FX=enable but to no avail (thought it seems slightly faster, I am
sure I am imagining it.  Still very unplayable).

Anyone around here with Utah GLX experience?  As far as I know, that is
how I get my Rage Pro in my iMac 233 to support 3D Accelleration.  Utah
install instructions didn't seem to mention any chip-specific
instructions.

Thanks

Evan
