Re: [XFree86] RE: Sis300 support in XFree86 version 4.3.0

Melisa,   I get the same problem (missing libglide2x.so)  with XFree86 4.2.99.902 release (essentially 4.3) whilst trying to get my Radion 9000 pro to run in X under Linux Mandrake 9.0. How did you solve this? -Did you get create the soft link with the libglide3x.so rather than libglide2x.so -Did you have to edit the XF86config to take account of this change (I have created mine with XFree86 – configure)     I’m beginning to see why Windows XP (which happily coexists with my 9000) is so popular!          Regards     Daniel       >The linux and XFree4 install was so I can run some 3D applications...but I >did not know that glide was so specifically aimed...the Real problem was >that I couldn't get the X server configured at all.  Right now I am >stuck with 16 bit color...(using generic VESA in Xconfigurator, which is >not as good as what I could get with the XFree86 version that came with >RH7.3!   >{I installed the 4.3 version as no other version even lists the SiS300 >chip...and it looks like 4.3 doesn't really support it either...)   >Thanks for info on the .so (so's I am not a gonna worry (esp since no >system complaints!)   ;)   mgolter       On Fri, 14 Mar 2003, Mike A.
