Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 & Voodoo DRI

[Francisco Alcaraz Ariza]

John & Will,

I made the change in XFreeConfig-4 that said John and, efectively, full 
screen games, like pingus, run again (remember that pingus doesn't need 
3d-acceleration).

The conclusion of John is true:
At least for Vodoo3 3000, DRI has a bug and switching resolution is controled 
but this module; if you try to change resolutions or a game or other type of 
aplication try to do that, doesn't matter if they use or not 3d acceleration, 
DRI make the action and crashes X.

I have posted a bug report to XFree86, I hope they will work on the problem. 
I will post in the expert list any comments that the XFree86 team sent to me 
about this subject (I hope a patch or so on).

Note for the person of the mandrake team in charge of the X: could you check 
that and also communicate to the Xfree86 team, I am sure they will work 
faster if they know that Mandrake is also interested in the problem.  :-) 
Thanks.

See you soon, I hope wit good news
