Branden, I am seeing this too. The important point here is that this is a regression from 4.2.1, where the hardware is capable of DRI within an X session of 1600x1200. Note that the resolution in question here is not the resolution of the GLX graphic, but the resolution of the X display. That is, the accelerated graphic I had working was at 640x480 and would appear windowed or fullscreen via DGA. Now glxinfo with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose is reporting: libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable failed > Perhaps you could review the changes made to the tdfx driver between > XFree86 4.2.1 and 4.3.0 (the tdfx driver has not, to date, been changed > on xf-4_3-branch). > > It looks to me like the error message you're complaining of was not > added in 4.3.0. I don't see anything that is obviously causing this to be triggered. However, I am unsure about how this code fits in the wider implementation. -Chris
