hi guys.
Have been trying to improve the grapics performance on my new Mandrake 9
install, but have come accross a problem.
The following excerpt is from /var/log/XF86Config.9.log
(WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs
(II) TDFX(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0xcd00
(II) TDFX(0): Changing back offset from 0x005ff000 to 0x005fe000
(II) TDFX(0): Not enough video memory available for textures and depth buffer
and/or back buffer. Disabling DRI. To use DRI try lower
resolution modes and/or a smaller virtual screen size
(II) TDFX(0): Cursor Offset: [0x00000000,0x00001000)
(II) TDFX(0): Fifo Offset: [0x00001000, 0x00041000)
(II) TDFX(0): Front Buffer Offset: [0x00041000, 0x00692800)
(II) TDFX(0): (NOT USED) Texture Offset: [0x00692800, 0x006927FF)
(II) TDFX(0): (NOT USED) BackOffset: [0x01000000, 0x01500000)
(II) TDFX(0): (NOT USED) DepthOffset: [0xFFFFFFFF, 0x004FFFFF)
(II) TDFX(0): Minimum 270, Maximum 1023 lines of offscreen memory available
(II) TDFX(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
Screen to screen bit blits
Solid filled rectangles
8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles
Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion
Solid Lines
Dashed Lines
Offscreen Pixmaps
Driver provided NonTEGlyphRenderer replacement
Setting up tile and stipple cache:
32 128x128 slots
9 256x256 slots
(==) TDFX(0): Backing store disabled
(==) TDFX(0): Silken mouse enabled
Im running a 440BX motherboard with Voodoo Banshee 16Meg AGP card. Any idea on
ways to get DRI to run? Do you need more information? stock kernel version is
2.4.19
I have tried the advice given in the above about smaller resolutions and lower
colour levels but nothing seems to help. Is the server expecting a 32 meg
card or something? any help greatly apreciated
TIA
