Bug#234388: , tdfx problems
I have the same problem.
In fact, dri doesn't work (for me?) even if I drop X resolution to 1024x768
(glxinfo says direct rendering: No).
My workaround to this issue is to
a) keep xlibmesa3-gl and xlibmesa3-glu (not to install xlibmesa-gl and
xlibmesa-glu), hold their -dev counterparts in version 4.2.1-12.1
and
b) divert thee tdfx_drv[1] away and take the tdfx_drv file from
xserver-xfree86_4.2.1-12.1 package.
Doing just a makes the dri work in 1024x768, doing a+b makes it work
all the time.
I haven't had problems with my Voodoo 3 earlier (espesially those
mentioned in [2]). The problem is solved for me, but I do see this
somewhat inconvenient ;).
