RE: Sid + Radeon 7000
Perhaps we can help each other out... I have an ATI Radeon
All-In-Wonder and am trying to do direct rendering (DRI Project) and
can't seem to figure out how to get the card to actually do the
rendering (it defaults to software rendering), even though I have the
DRI module loaded on X startup and the permissions set to 0666.
But, have you tried downloading the latest modules/drivers from the
Gatos project (gatos.sf.net)? From what I know, these are the best
place to get drivers for not-so-new ATI products (8500 and on).
Peace,
David Meiser

Subject: Sid + Radeon 7000
I ditched Debian and Linux in general on my main machine until I
replaced my voodoo 5 with a different card because of the hassle to get
it working, luckily I recently got a radeon 7000 (64meg DDR) given to me
and did a fresh debian net install. I'm running Sid and alas openGL apps
fail to function , they load but no graphics are displayed , for example
the GLXGears window just remains black even tho it is reporting the FPS.
After looking around others seem to have blamed it on the newer
versions/builds of xlibmesa , my question is does anyone know a way to
fix it or when packages will be updated to cure the problem ?
Cheers,
Daniel Palmer
