I'm running mandrake linux 8.1, kernel 2.4.17 (with
sisfb and sis-drm patched), XFree86-4.1.0 (with a new sis driver).
I found these drivers here.
Many people report success in running games with
this drivers on the sis 630:Quake, Descent, Tuxracer...
I am trying to run such games on my machine (wich
others use with succes: a ASUS A1330 laptop).
But here the games freeze the pc.
At the beginnig I could not even run glxgears. So I
installed the original XFree86 tgz distribution over my mandrake XFree86 rpm
disribution.
Now I can run many mesa demos. But not the games.
They sill freeze my pc.
Tuxracer for example: it runs, I can see the
initial screen (falling snow with music) for a couple of seconds. Then the pc
freezes: but I can still hear music. I need to power down the pc with the
button!
I suppose it is a X/DRI configutration
problem becouse all the people who manage to run games use slck or debian:
I think mandrake has sonthing wrong in 3D libraries configuration, something
that comes out using SiS drivers.
Can someone help me debugging this
mess?
What files do I need and where MUST I put them?
(libGL* & co)
glxinfo reports that my rendrer is the SiS
driver
XFree log report successfull dri setup
many, but not all demos work (and the run fast!)
(and even some 3D game/app) works.
