Re: 3d acceleration (Mach 64 ATI rage pro)
There are debian packages which are more up-to-date than those sited above.
Add to your sources.list:
#new DRI locations?
deb http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
deb-src http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ ./
There are three packages: One is has the dri drivers similar to those cited
above. There is a script to build them over Debian kernel-headers or follow
the instructions cited in the article. The second has the mesa dri-trunk
libraries to connect this stuff and the third has an Xorg. This Xorg is
compiled to enable mach64--stock Xorg does not work. This Xorg will install
over existing Xfree installations and (follow the instructions) will work no
sweat.
These packages were supposed superceded by newer Xorg and mesa packages. The
more recent Xorg will NOT work.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I added the above to my sources
list, and installed xlibmesa-gl1-trunk, and xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk,
which also resulted in some other packages being installed. I've
rebooted, and, when I run glxgears, I get similar speeds, but now
without the warning, . . .
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
. . . that had been there previously. Here are the speeds I'm currently
getting:
mark@debian:~$ glxgears
470 frames in 5.0 seconds = 94.000 FPS
548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 109.600 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 120.000 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
600 frames in 5.0 seconds = 120.000 FPS
I think I am close to achieving 3d acceleration, but not quite there yet
(unless this is the best a Mach 64 video card can do). If people have
any further hints on getting 3d acceleration for a Mach 64 ATI rage pro,
I definitely appreciate it.
Below is the result of "glxinfo":
