(I bcc'ed this mail) Yes, the same configuration did work for me also, with Truetype support and all, but it was with G200 under 3.3.3.1. > First: > I can't decide from your mail if you see any 3d acceleration at all, > or if it worked with an older version. > Did you have any success at all? Sorry for being unclear. I don't see any 3d acceleration because the window within the demo runs is completely black. Althought I see the "Creating GLX context" message in the underlying xterm. Seems the demo runs but isn't simply viewable. I had success with G200 and 3.3.3.1 for what I compiled the CVS version of glx with Mesa-3.0 from ports, even the Truetype support did work. > Second: > Were you using the latest glx port?

Yep, I've tried this, built all the necessary blocks within one big loop, including 3.3.5. > For comparison I put up the logs of my build of XFree86 3.3.5 and glx > on the above mentioned web page. > > I also mailed one the main glx developers if can remember trouble > with G400, because there is a possibility that my snapshot is > from an too early G400 development stage. Thank you, but the trouble isn't caused by glx but Xfree 3.3.5 itself. That's because I tried different 3.3.5 binaries and built the 3.3.5 from the ports and by hand. The cause is Xfree not glx. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
