Re: XFree86 X server: does loading the dri module still hose sunffb users?
Not being an expert.....
I have been playing with unstable (xserver-xfree8 4.3.0-7)
on my Ultra 10 with an elite video card. (which uses sunffb)
and I added in the dri module using
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
no problem:
[...]
Section "Module"
[...]
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
[...]
EndSection
[...]
There are some issues that may be worth mentioning:
local OpenGL clients segfault (though remote ones are
fine, so that suggests a mesalib problem)
Ctrl-Alt F1,F2 and backspace don't seem to work.
(I am only pointing out these as I have no idea what the dri library
does !)
