Re: DRM on iMac with UNSTABLE
Finally got around to taking your advice and installed the
dri-trunk-sid packages:
xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk_2003.05.04-1_powerpc.deb
xlibmesa-gl1-dri-trunk_2003.05.04-1_powerpc.deb
drm-trunk-module-src_2003.05.04-1_all.deb
and compiled and installed the modules.
However, still no joy: it doesn't fail as early as it did but X
takes up so much cpu power logging into gnome that the system
freezes.
This is with a iMac DVD SE Summer 2000 (r128) running unstable.
Like I said a while back, DRI has worked very well on this machine
under X 4.1 but since the upgrade to unstable, it's failed. The X
log says the dri is enabled, but at the price of a frozen system.
any other tips?
Thanks
Joss
