I recently did an aptitude update and aptitude upgrade, pulling in several new packages from security and updates.
Previously, on xserver-xfree86 I had (finally) managed to get dri working with the help of using a more recent kernel than that in sarge (compiled custom 2..6.13). The upshot of this is that various 3d things like tuxracer, stellarium, etc. worked fine and at a reasonable speed. My video card is a Matrox Millennium G450 (not dualhead) and running sarge on an Athlon 1ghz box. After the upgrade (installing xserver-xorg doesn't affect this, but dri does work now in xserver-xorg) glxinfo -b reports: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x24 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x27 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x28 libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x2b libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x2c libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x2f libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x30 37 glxinfo does run OK as does glxgears (even though it prints the same warnings). Other things that are more 3d intensive simply segfault or lock up (stellarium and fgfs both report the same libGL warning lines, then segfault, whilst tuxracer goes to a black screen and locks the system hard -- at that point I can't keyboard or nothing - and having only one system, I can't ssh into the box to bring X etc. down, so it's "big red switch" time). Prior to the update, these apps all ran fine. I note another user (on stellarium.sourceforge.net) reported similar behavior, but he was running Fedora core 4. As of now, no one has responded. I'm beginning to google but I see a number of posts with similar problems. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
