Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

I don't need aiglx support... just for it to simply say I have dri working.
I have checked for the dri section and is there.
I have no idea why it doesn't work. It did way back when I manually installed it in Breezy.
As for my lspci output with the graphics card...

encompass,

This works for my T22 with the same graphics chip:

Code:

Section "Device" Identifier "MyVideoCard" Driver "savage" Option "BusType" "AGP" Option "DmaType" "AGP" Option "DmaMode" "None" Option "AGPMode" "2" Option "AGPSize" "16" Option "SWCursor" "true" #VideoRam 8192 EndSection

glxgears ~390, ~130 without. HTH.

Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

I didn't see much of an improvement. Looks like I am stuck with what I have. Does your's say it has direct rendering? Mine doesn't.
And your settings run fine... but if I try to shutdown the X server it won't go down. But in the background I can shut it down softly.

well, what does your Xorg.0.log say when trying to load the dri module?

Have you had a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org for any open bugs related to your video chip?

Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

Hey guys,

I'm having the same DRI problem here. I have a T23 thinkpad with superSavage IXC SDR video card and have tried all the common and savage drivers and i keep getting an unable to compile error. Just installed this today and did all the updates and have 2.6.17-10-386 kernel running on here. What do i need to do to get this thing running right?

Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

Wow, thanks to the above guy who posted a bunch of xorg.conf options. It boosted my FPS by a good 200! I'm still having trouble installing the latest DRI drivers. Im running Edgy (Ubuntu 6.10), kernel 2.6.17-10-generic. It says I am missing some packages... What packages do I need?

I believe you do not have to compile anything in Edgy.

Why are you using the -386 kernel instead of the -generic?

Could you post the output of:

Code:

lspci

and

Code:

lspci -n

and

Code:

lsmod | grep savage

and if possible, could you please add a couple of attachments with your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files?

Cheers

Beryl and SuperSavage cards.

Mainly my interests lay in getting Beryl working on a ThinkPad T23. 3d acceleration is a must, does anyone have beryl working with this video card?

I've also posted a separate thread if you're interested in getting Beryl working with a S3 supersavage card.

Re: HOWTO: Enable DRI (3D support) on SAVAGE cards

Hi, I have a Supersavage/IXC16 card as well in a IBM/T23 Notebook. I'm really needing help enabling 3D support on this card. (trying to set it up to play some of the older Tomb Raider games).

this is the results of the above posted commands.
