Re: S3 SuperSavage video card / "XFree86-DRI" missing on display
Hi,
DRI is needed for 3D performance and video output. Not all X drivers support
DRI. And kernel support is also needed.
please post
- your X log, it should be under /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or similar)
- the output of 'lspci'
make sure
- your chipset agp driver is loaded
- your agpgart driver is loaded
you should be able to verify this by using 'lsmod'
btw, in most cases a 2.6er kernel offers more/better support for laptops
