Alas, from: http://dri.sourceforge.net/DRIuserguide.html : * With XFree86 4.0 and the Direct Rendering Interface (DRI), hardware * accelerated 3D graphics can be considered a standard feature on Linux * workstations. Support for other operating systems, such as FreeBSD, is * underway. Each DRI driver, AFAICT, needs its own accompanying kernel module, and the FreeBSD kernel modules just don't exist yet. Sigh. I'll keep running 3.3.6 with Utah-GLX for now... --David Bushong On Sat, Sep 02, 2000 at 02:26:52PM +0000, Thomas Koper wrote: > Hi, > I'm trying to use DRI with XFree 4 and the voodoo3 agp card, but as > as I start x windows I get the message that DRI is disabled: > ... > (II) TDFX(0): initializing int10 > (==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xa0000,0x20000) was already clear > (II) TDFX(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 > (II) TDFX(0): VESA Bios detected > (II) TDFX(0): VESA VBE DDC supported > (==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xec000000,0x2000000) was already clear > (==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xe0000000,0x2000000) > (==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear > (II) TDFX(0): Textures Memory 10.99 MB > II) TDFX(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) > Screen to screen bit blits > Solid filled rectangles > 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles > Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion > Solid Lines > Dashed Lines > Offscreen Pixmaps > Driver provided NonTEGlyphRenderer replacement > Setting up tile and stipple cache: > 8 128x128 slots > (==) TDFX(0): Backing store disabled > (==) TDFX(0): Silken mouse enabled > (II) TDFX(0): direct rendering disabled > (**) Mouse1: Protocol: "Auto" > (**) Mouse1: Core Pointer > (==) Mouse1: Buttons: > ... > > Why does it say "(II) TDFX(0): direct rendering disabled" ? > I compiled XFree86-4 from the ports and it starts up fine, I confiured > it to load the GLX and DRI modules, like it says in the installation > guide.
