Hi,
finally I managed to talk X into enabling DRI on my PCI Radeon, by
installing X and DRI drivers from development snapshot 4.3.99.16.
Unfortunately, glxgears as well as all the Xscreensaver GL modules crash
segfaulting.
I compiled the whole thing with gcc 3.3.2, kernel, X, and the DRM update
drivers that came with the X snapshot. Is this known to make problems?
Or might it be a problem with the development version?
Any more positive experiences with more current CVS version?
(When enabling DRI on 4.3.0, the whole X used not to start anymore (hang
during startup process).)
Also I exprience much faster mouse after this update, so either the X
server got a great speed boost or it somehow raised mouse acceleration.
Any comments are very much appreciated.
Andre.
