The device node is created by XFree86 when it looks for the DRM. Make sure that the directory /dev/dri exists and that the Xserver has permission to create new device nodes in it. The Xserver runs as root, so that should not be a problem, but I vaguely remember a report about /dev/dri directory permission problems. One more thing, there is another list of PCI IDs in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/savage.h. You may have to add the savage4 PCI ID there. > > I'm still using kernel 2.4.21 and i will upgrade to 2.4.23 today It worked for me with 2.4.21-rc1.

Hmm, from the feedback I got so far it seems like there will be more work required to get the Xserver side going before people can start testing the 3D driver. :-/ Felix ------------ __\|/__ ___ ___ ------------------------- Felix ___\_e -_/___/ __\___/ __\_____ You can do anything, Kühling (_____\Ä/____/ /_____/ /________) just not everything [EMAIL PROTECTED] \___/ \___/ U at the same time. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
