Download at http://dri.sourceforge.net in Downloads section the file that you need (here normally, radeon-20030809-linux-i386.tar.bz2) You can also compile the whole Xfree86 stuff, but I personnally prefered to download this.. :) The file contains the script to run as root, it will install all the stuff after compiling it for your system (you need to have installed the kernel-source of the running system). I have installed it for both kernel 2.4.20 and 2.4.21, and the XFree86.0.log says the dri is enabled, acceleration etc... So It is normally perfect... But (yeap, there is a but :( ), glxinfo says that there is no direct rendering... For now, if you try and achieve to make it work... .Yves. -: Unix IS user-friendly, it just chooses its friends very carefully. :- _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
