need help enabling R300 driver in X
hello,
I'm running Slackware 11 on an IBM thinkpad t42p, and I just learned that I might be able to use the experimental R300 mesa driver to get 3D acceleration working in X rather than the propretary driver made by ati. The only caveats about doing this is that it requires at least mesa 6.3.2, which I'm not sure how to check, and it requires a certain flag to enable the build of the driver when compiling, and I'm not sure where to enter that in the Slackbuild. Could anyone give me aome advise on how to accomplish these things. I've read through the SlackBuild for X on the source disc, and I can't tell where mesa is even compiled.
Thank you
