Thanks for your time, Dave Besides a working driver, you'll also have to find a way to post your card properly on the arm platform if you are using a card with an x86 bios. Very few xorg drivers can bring cards up cold without a post. Alex - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hello, Don't expect much for now, we're still working on DRI support. For now we can only run a couple of applications (glxgears and some other simple tests) and only on some NV40 cards. NV11/NV34 support is still a work in progress (but might work any day now :). The current code uses software TCL, but with a bit of work we could add hardware TCL (we have the required information for that). Feel free to ask if you have any other questions !

Re: [Dri-devel] What is the current state of acceleration support for Ati Mobility M4 (and other questions)?
1) OK, I am still confused. Can someone please tell me is the DRI support working for the above-mentioned video card or not? I have had 2D flicker issues with the standard 4.1.0 binary build from the XFree86 folks (see previous messages). However, I have heard from several people who have had no problems whatsoever. My only hope is that the binaries have issues. When I get a chance, I will compile up the whole server from scratch and try again.

[Dri-devel] What is the current state of acceleration support for Ati Mobility M4 (and other questions)?
Hello fellow Linux users! I am a long time linux user (well long here is a relative term, I guess, but I have been using linux since RH 5.2, so I guess that qualifies me as a non-newbie at least :-), but I only recently got involved in 3d design and programming (using primarily blender and Gtk+). Before, I used Linux primarily for sound processing. Anyhow, recently I invested into a laptop (dell inspiron 8000 1Ghz with Mobility m4), and after successfully installing Linux and getting X up I got somewhat dissapointed when I found out that there was no accelerated support for this video card that has been out for over 1/2 of year (needless to mention that it is probably most widely used in laptops -- although this might soon change due to debut of geforce2go cards). I researched a bit around and found out that AcceleratedX has support for it (costs $129 though, and does not tolerate presence of Mesa which is required for a lot of devel tools), as well as heard a rumour of DRI supporting acceleration. After a bit more of research I stumbled accross a lot of conflicting testimonies regarding DRI support (for instance on the DRI www site it mentions mobility being supported, but it does not specify which of the mobility family it supports). So this source of confusion is the primary reason why I am writing to ya all. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get in order to find answer(s) to below-included questions: 1) OK, I am still confused. Can someone please tell me is the DRI support working for the above-mentioned video card or not? 2) If it does, and I do have X running (stable and all that), what do I need to do to get DRI compiled, since my attempt sometime ago failed miserably due to some errors I was not able to circumvent (i.e. what Xfree version do I need, and what other stuff do I need on top of that? btw I am running RH7.0 with most of the latest updates, including Ximian Gnome 1.4)? 3) How does DRI acceleration compare to AcceleratedX and/or to Windoze performance (i.e. how would Quake3 perform on the same machine using Linux/X/DRI and using Windoze)? Any help would be utmostly appreciated! Sincerely, Ivica Ico Bukvic, composer ___ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel

The r128 support worked fine for us (after the usual install miseries) on an Inspiron with a Rage Mobility M3 AGP2x which we acquired about 10 months ago.. don't know about the M4 though.
