Hi,
With the latest instructions I'm finally able to get the DRI running.
But I've noticed one difference between some info given back.
bash-2.05b$ dmesg|grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925
[drm] Initialized savage 2.1.0 20050106 on minor 0: S3 Inc. VT8636A
[ProSavage KN133] AGP4X VGA Controller (TwisterK)
[drm] Used old pci detect: framebuffer loaded
and
bash-2.05b$ lspci|grep AGP
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133 AGP]
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8636A [ProSavage
KN133] AGP4X VGA Controller (TwisterK) (rev 01)
both specify that my twisterK is on a 4x AGP. But
bash-2.05b$ glxinfo|grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: S3 Graphics Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Twister 20050101 AGP 1x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 6.3
OpenGL extensions:
mentions a 1x AGP. Should I get any hope that there could be a
performance gain waiting to be turned on, or is it more of a printf
problem ;) ?
I wanted also to share a small script I wrote. It covers some
operations for the compilation of DRI as detailed in the wiki. It is
my first real script, so I would ask you to be indulgent of my naive
implementation. Hopefully it will be of use to some of you. I will
more than welcome any comments on it.
