RE: [TCLUG:22943] tuxracer

["Austad, Jay" <austad@marketwatch.com>]

I'm still having trouble with mine also, except I have an Nvidia Geforce.

I know I'm missing some libs because glxinfo dies with a missing lib error,
and I can't compile things that use opengl.  Quake and terminus won't even
start either.

If I remove glut and mesa from my system completely, what do I need to grab
and compile or make links to to get it all working right?  Do I have to load
the dri module with the geforce?  What other modules?

Is this with xfree 4.0/4.0.1? If it is, try 'glxinfo' and see which
renderer it is using.  If it says "indirect" then it is using software.
Also, the table displayed at the botton should be fairly large.  The
'glxinfo' program can be found at dri.sourceforge.net.  You should check
to make sure you are loading the "dri" module and that the permissions in
the XF86Config for dri is set as well.

Here is part of mine (I have voodoo3 though):

----------------begin-----------------
Section "Module"

  Load "dri"
  Load "GLcore"
  Load "glx"

  SubSection "extmod"
    Option "omit xfree86-dga"
  EndSubSection

  Load "dbe"
  Load "xie"

EndSection


# Sets DRI permissions for all users
Section "DRI"
  Mode 0666
EndSection

------------------end----------------------
