I was looking at Nvidia cards, but ATI Radeon seems to be *much* better supported. In particular, it's hard for me to figure out which cards use which chipsets. Some of the models now appearing at retailers don't show up on the Radeon page on the DRI wiki. (So I assume they have no hw acceleration support.) And AMD/ATI's website doesn't really dive into specifics, unless I'm missing something. Any pointers or experiences with specific cards are appreciated. Thanks! ATI card are supported up to X850, maybe X1050 or somethings like that is supported too. Other X1300 or X1600 or above are not supported at the moment and i can't predict when they might be. For nvidia card take a look at nouveau.freedesktop.org i think they got a list there. best, Jerome Glisse - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I was looking at Nvidia cards, but ATI Radeon seems to be *much* better supported. The nouveau project still has a long way to go, so Nvidia cards won't give you 3D acceleration with free drivers. All ATI cards up to the X850 are supported by free drivers. Have a look at the X600 and X700, those should be available for unter 80$.

[Bug 9468] New: mesa compiles different versions of libGL.so in different modes
Please do not reply to this email: if you want to comment on the bug, go to the URL shown below and enter yourcomments there. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9468 Summary: mesa compiles different versions of libGL.so in different modes Product: Mesa Version: 6.5 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Drivers/DRI/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have some strange trouble with Mesa-6.5.2. When I compile a 'linux-x86' version, I get a 'libGL.so.1.5.060502' library, and it works fine with all demos and xdemos examples, but it does not support direct rendering. In other hand, when I compile mesa in 'linux-dri' or 'linux-dri-x86' mode, I get a 'libGL.so.1.2' library that works like real OpenGL 1.2 with DRI support (as glxinfo says). But it hasn't some OpenGL 1.5 extensions. Following demos aren't working with this version: arbfslight (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_fragment_shader) arbocclude (Sorry, this demo requires the GL_ARB_occlusion_query extension) fplight (Sorry, this demo requires GL_NV_fragment_program) fslight (Warning: this program expects OpenGL 2.0 and many messages like that: Mesa 6.5.2 implementation error: User called no-op dispatch function (an unsupported extension function?)) glslnoise (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_fragment_shade) paltex (Sorry, GL_EXT_paletted_texture not supported) pointblast (Sorry, GL_ARB_point_parameters is not supported.) shadowtex (Sorry, this demo requires the GL_ARB_depth_texture and GL_ARB_shadow extensions) spriteblast (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_point_sprite.) stex3d (Segmentation fault after finished setting up 3d texture image.) vao_demo (GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2 and Sorry, this program requires GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object) I downloaded Mesa-6.5.2 from www.sourceforge.net, drm from git://anongit.freedesktop.ogr/git/mesa/drm.

But it hasn't some OpenGL 1.5 extensions. Following demos aren't working with this version: This is expected behaviour. The hw does not support everything, so instead of advertizing all extensions and having awfully slow fallbacks, the extensions not supported are not even shown. arbfslight (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_fragment_shader) fplight (Sorry, this demo requires GL_NV_fragment_program) fslight (Warning: this program expects OpenGL 2.0 and many messages like that: Mesa 6.5.2 implementation error: User called no-op dispatch function (an unsupported extension function?)) glslnoise (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_fragment_shade) shadowtex (Sorry, this demo requires the GL_ARB_depth_texture and GL_ARB_shadow no way the hw could do these. paltex (Sorry, GL_EXT_paletted_texture not supported) paletted textures. pointblast (Sorry, GL_ARB_point_parameters is not supported.) spriteblast (Sorry, this demo requires GL_ARB_point_sprite.) Hw doesn't support these, the driver could in theory provide some half-useful fallback. But apps are happy without them and usually do the fallback on their own just fine. stex3d (Segmentation fault after finished setting up 3d texture image.) This is a bug. The driver does not support 3d textures (there are some problems with this feature in hardware), you should get a (slow) software fallback (as it's a 1.2 core feature it must be supported by the driver). Could you provide a backtrace? Last time I tried that demo on radeon it worked. vao_demo (GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2 and Sorry, this program requires GL_APPLE_vertex_array_object) arbocclude (Sorry, this demo requires the GL_ARB_occlusion_query extension) I guess those two could be supported by hw, but the driver doesn't support it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. - Take Surveys.
