I just wanted to post that I'm having pretty good success with XFree 4.2.0 plus the patch from Mike Harris for the Radeon Mobility FireGL 7800. I have an IBM Thinkpad A31p (2653-H6U). I built XFree from source without any code from dri.sf.net. I feel like 3D accelleration is working. I installed tuxracer and it plays smooth. I also installed heretic2 and it also plays smooth using the libOSMesa gl driver. The output of glxinfo shows that DRI is enabled and glxgears works at 800+ FPS.
I don't know what other information you might be interested in or what other testing I can do. I tried the binary distribution of dri.sf.net from 20020709 and it wouldn't work right. It didn't detect the properties of the LCD panel right and fell back to 640x480 plus messed up the screen so that I had to toggle from external monitor to lcd. Thanks for all the work! -- (__) Doug Alcorn - Unix/Linux/Web Developing oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lathi.net _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
