Re: DRI with ATI

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

There are three packages with the "ustable" DRI:

Add these to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./

I have an ATI rage pro (mach64) card.

Note that these will install an xorg on top of your xfree! The xfree will 
still be usable but if the xorg works for you, go with it. Have /etc/X11/X 
symlink point to the one you want to use. There are a few other things to 
check in the XF86Config-4 and xorg.conf files as made and edited by the 
installation.

The drm module itself must be compiled for your kernel. The installation will 
compile against kernel-headers for you. Once in its place, the mach64.ko (or 
whichever correponds to your card) if perfectly usable with xfree86.
