OpenGL GLX TDFX

crm · 11-15-2004, 11:17 AM

after about 3 days of hard hacking (for me) ive got this far:

from my xorg logs

Code:

(II) TDFX(0): [DRI] installation complete
(==) TDFX(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) RandR enabled

BUT THEN!

Code:

bash-2.05b$ glxgears
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x25
....
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x42
1546 frames in 5.0 seconds = 309.200 FPS

^thats a LOT better then the 104 i was getting beafore
but get this:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ glxinfo |grep rendering
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x25
.....
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x42
direct rendering: No

Finially, what this all ammounts to:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ quake3
Q3 1.32b linux-i386 Nov 14 2002
...
...loading libGL.so.1: Initializing OpenGL display
...
setting mode 3: 640 480

XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized
XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 1024x768
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x25
.....
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x42
Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect
...
Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

i THINK theres a porblem somwhere between OpenGL and DRI but im not sure what.
im going out now but ill check back later

Please help! i need to kill my flatmates in glorious 3d

What is your graphics card, and what are your driver settings?

Some graphics cards do not support 3D acceleration in all modes (eg. the old 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 TV card didn't support acceleration in 32-bit colour modes). Without knowing more about your setup, that's about all I can suggest just now.

the graphics card is a voodo3 pci
i think its 16 meg but it is withought doubt the oldest component in the box

as for the settings of said driver, i dont have a clue, its the tdfx one that came with the kernel......
ah:

Code:

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

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

    #Group 60    #my edits
    #Mode 0660   #my edits
    Mode 0666

 EndSection
