Ah, I see you're running into the same problem I did a while back. (I'm the Debian glide maintainer.) What we do is actually pretty close to that, I use debconf for the interface though with a little work it could easily be split out. Basicly at install time I use lspci to find the cards in the

It depends on what part of the process you want to solve. For the DRI, the easiest solution would be to have the dri_tdfx.o dynamically load the appropriate Glide. The X server knows what hardware it is running on and passes that to the client (via the PCI id). If you did this, you could also cha

[Dri-devel] Determining the proper Glide library to use at runtime

2001-05-04 Thread Mike A. Harris
I'd like opinions on what would be the best way of determining at runtime what glide library to use? The current problem is that there are 2 Glide libraries for Glide3 - one for Voodoo 3, and another for Voodoo 5. This is inconvenient to say the least. Currently, we symlink libglide3.so.3.10.0
