I had spent about 6 months trying to get Direct Rendering working for my voodoo3 (RH 7.2 and RH 7.3) without any luck. Searching the web, messages to the Mailing List , install fests and IRC sessions did not come up with solutions. Well today in #redhat on irc.openprojects.net I had a chat with a lad called mharris who mentioned that the i386 kernels do not come with DRM. Problem: "I can't get DRM to work with my vanilla RH 7.2/7.3 install" Solution: Make sure you are not using the i386 kernels. (2.4.18-3 and 2.4.18-5 for RH 7.3) Get the i586 kernel (kernel-2.4.18-5.i586.rpm) from: ftp://ftp.mn-linux.org/linux/apt/redhat/7.3/i586/RPMS.updates/ And install it. Presto. Direct Rendering works. Notes: 1- kernel-2.4.18-5.i586.rpm does not come with the install. It is an update. You might not get this with up2date, and have to install the kernel yourself. 2- RH 7.3 does come with support for voodoo3's and direct rendering enabled by default. With the right kernel. I hope that others will be able to make use of this. Samir M. Nassar RedConcepts.NET - http://redconcepts.net Open Source, Open Systems, Open Borders, Open Minds
