G400 vs. DRM

[Eugene Tyurin <eugene_tyurin@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with this strange error message from bzflag (.deb
1.7e2-1) and GL in general:

gene@daBox:~$ bzflag
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
loading fixedbr...
loading panel...

At the same time, log file for X (.deb 4.1.0-9 ) shows:

(II) LoadModule: "drm"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a
(II) Module drm: vendor="The XFree86 Project"

(II) MGA(0): [drm] Status handle = 0xca9fb000
(II) MGA(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler

I am running up-to-date woody with custom kernel 2.4.15-pre1:

CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_MGA=y

If I run X as '-depth 16', I don't get libGL error, but bzflag still
uses indirect rendering.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

--ET.
