so close and so far.. :( OK, for the record.. here is THE link http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DRM.. Simple steps - load via-agp.ko(/lib/modules/2.6.16.27/kernel/drivers/char/agp/via-agp.ko) and via.ko(/lib/modules/2.6.16.27/kernel/drivers/char/drm/via.ko) - Add following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection - Change the driver from vesa to via in /etc/X11/xorg.conf now the bad news.. $ export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose $ glxinfo name of display: :0.0 libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 5.0.0 unichrome (screen 0) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/unichrome_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/unichrome_dri.so failed (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/unichrome_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL error: unable to find driver: unichrome_dri.so I tried getting unichrome_dri.so from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102048 but the libgl version turns out to be incompatible. And I am not to download 44MB of full X tree just to build a driver. I have unichrome svn checked out. When slackware moves to modular X, I will build it. It seems to be really simple for modular X. And even worse news is via driver in xorg is not 64bit clean. So on slamd64 I am still stuck on vesa. But atleast in slackware boot, I am on via driver which I am not sure provides any benefit at all. Anyways.. it was fun trying to get this working.. :) Shridhar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
