Right. Although Mandrake/PPC is still using XFree86 4.0.3, so that is an
issue too :) (Yes I know that I can compile 4.1 from srpm, but..)

Is the PPC tree actually frozen to try and make a 8.0 or 8.1 release? I've
noticed the x86 tree seems to have lots of activity again. We only seem to
be getting security fixes..

However - I'm pretty sure that you need to have DRI compiled for your
kernel (which it may or may not be for Stew's 2.4.4-6.2) before XF-4.1
can access it. This may be the problem.

I'll check all those out and get back to the list.  We may not have GLX

What did you find out about GLX? I've got mine enabled and most
applications are running.. although slowly.

I've enabled it in my config, but glxinfo tells me:
direct rendering: No
...
OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4

And during the starting of X it says:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a
(II) Module glx: vendor="The XFree86 Project"

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module dri
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)

The release notes for 4.1.0 claim there is support for DRI under linux/ppc
with that version.
