Hi,
I've a debian woody stable system and would like to have DRI enabled
on my XFree86. I'd like to install XFree86 4.2.1 but wich packages
should i choose? i've tryed http://people.debian.org/~branden/
packages, but they are pre beta... then i've tryed
http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/packages/ and they seam to work fine... but
there's a problem...
I've downloaded the xfree driver from http://www.winischhofer.net/ and
the DRI stuff doesn't work... how can i make it work?
Thanks for your time.
Hi, i have fix it :-) this is how i've done it (if anyone is interested
of course):
I've started from scratch, i grabed my 7 cd set of debian woody 3.0r0
and installed it as usual only with stable packages.
Since i wasn't home and had only a dial up connection to the world i
couldn't update my system with security.debian.org, i'll do it this week
:-) (it would take to much time and money :-))
I had a cd with XFree86 4.2.1 (a mirror from
http://people.debian.org/~braden/) and KDE3.0.5a and Thomas latest
driver (at the moment) from 6 of January 2003.
I've installed all the XFree86 packages and KDE and then i've configured
my XF86Config-4 with the Debian dpkg-reconfigure tool. At first i've
choosen the default driver from the XFree packages.
Later on i've recompiled the linux kernel 2.4.18-5 with the sisfb patch,
then i've started to look to XFree logs and then i've seen that that
XFree version had already a SiS driver from Thomas (an old one) I've
been reading the Thomas site and looked for the DRI module and all i've
understood is that the file sis_dri.so is only needed because his X
driver has a special C Struct that the DRI module needs to read. So i
only aplied the new X-Driver and tested.
I've looked again in the Logs and tcharam:
