I sold my r128-using machine 1.5 years ago, so I can't reproduce its config file, but I had to modprobe intel_agp and r128 before DRI would work. Find out your AGP chipset and make sure its support module has been modprobed before X starts. That's in /etc/modules.autoload.d/ for Gentoo users, YDistroMV. > It's annoying I've never been able to solve it.

Right now, 3D is much easier with nVidia cards and the evil binary-only modules than it is with ATi cards. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
