DRI on the Voodo3 card

crm · 11-12-2004, 08:27 PM

DRI isnt working on my voodo 3 card even tho the voodo and dri drivers are boath in the kernel. (gentoo 2.6.8.1-ck3)

glxgears works, opengl is installed,
glxinfo | grep rendering returns
direct rendering : no

taken from xorg.conf

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "voodo3 right"
    # glide vga dri glx
    Driver "glx"

    #Driver      "tdfx"
    #VideoRam    16384
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
...
Section "DRI"

    Group 60
    Mode 0660
    #Mode 0666
    #remove grtoup tov reset
 EndSection

more after i reboot

*sigh* no luck.....
am i missing anything?

direct rendering manager is in the curent kernel...
as are the drivers for the voodo3

glx and dri are enabled in my xorg.conf
and i KNOW my card suports them....

linux_terror · 11-13-2004, 03:24 PM

with NVIDIA, it said explicitly to disable "dri" and to enable "glx" other wise it wouldn't work, notice my dri is commented out, dunno, maybe that's the problem.

i figured that if GLX gears was woring then OpenGL would also work fine, but i appear to be wrong

crm · 11-14-2004, 12:18 PM

Okay, i have traced the xorf log files ad apparentally i am in 32bpp and need to be in 16bpp
how do i swich modes?

Code:

(EE) TDFX(0): [dri] tdfx DRI not supported in 32 bpp mode, disabling DRI.
(II) TDFX(0): [dri] To use DRI, invoke the server using 16 bpp
        (-depth 15 or -depth 16).

*sigh* google isnt helping here :*(

crm · 11-14-2004, 06:17 PM

last error i hope

from the xorg logs i get this:
(EE) TDFX(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI.

from glxgears i get this

Code:

bash-2.05b$ glxinfo | grep rendering

dri still clames to be off but glxgears is returning at about 4-700 fips (along with hte error stated above) so somthing is goi ng rite

still no 3d in any games.
im so close i can almost taste those floating points... please help!!

You have two video cards ?

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Standard VGA"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    Driver     "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "voodo3 right"
    Driver "vga"
    Driver      "tdfx"
    VideoRam    16384
EndSection

Set only nothing more.

Section "Device"
Identifier "voodo3" # Type your card
VendorName "3dfx" # Manufacturer
Driver "tdfx" # Driver for your card
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "Voodoo3" # !!! == how Identifier "voodo3"
Monitor "My monitor" #

Your mistake is that you set two drivers for two cards tdfx and vga.
Check this and good luck.

--> this is my config http://rabbit.phorum.cz/config with functional HW accel

after attempting that, and a few other solutions i gave up and bought a second hand Nvida GeForcec 5000 (ish)
it installed and is running nicley.... YERY nicley:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ glxgears
7292 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1458.400 FPS
6891 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1378.200 FPS
7695 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1539.000 FPS
7668 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1533.600 FPS
7715 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1543.000 FPS

lipo · 11-17-2004, 06:16 AM

Nice i have Voodoo 3 and my score is:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ glxgears 
6082 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1216.400 FPS
6662 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1332.400 FPS
7160 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1432.000 FPS
7160 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1432.000 FPS
7161 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1432.200 FPS

almost same score

voodoo has better view.

IIRC, you need to have the Glide3 libs installed. The Xfree voodoo3 driver uses these to make DRI work.
