OpenGL acceleration on a rage 128 pro
Hello,
I have a Macintosh G4 (AGP) with a rage 128 pro card. I've tried to
'apt-get install xlibmesa3', but after doing this, my computer freezes
when attempting to run a OpenGL program. For example, when I open
glxgears, A black window pops up and the system stops responding to
keyboard or mouse input. The unaccelerated mesag3 works perfectly, but
slowly. I am using a very recent benh kernel. XFree86 4.1 claims that DRM
is enabled for the card. It should be noted that I also have a voodoo3 in
my computer, which does not work. It too crashes the computer when I try
to 'insmod tdfxfb'. The glxinfo spits out the following:

Any ideas about why the tdfx card or OpenGL acceleration (on the r128
card) do not work?
