 |
|
I am building a gentoo installation around a system with a g200 matrox card. I read that for some 3d accelleration I need to emerge xfree-drm after xfree. I have "matrox" in my USE.
Very shortly after I type emerge xfree-drm it stops and tells me that there is no rule for mga in makefile. After tinkering a bit I find that it DOeS work for sis and radeon as use flags. just the MGA is broken. When I look into the tarbal I find that indeed there is little mention of mga in there.... I am wondring has anyone successfully used the xfreedrm 4.3 ebuild with their matrox cards? |

Yes. USE="matrox" emerge xfree-drm. xfree-drm-4.3.0-r2 and xfree-4.3.0-r2 and -r3 work together on my Matrox.
| Code: | # lspci | grep AGP
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200 AGP (rev 01) |
Make sure your kernel is configured correctly to use xfree-drm first. Here's a howto using USE="radeon" as an example. |

I had agpgart compiled in NOT as a module. when I redid my kernel, with agpgart as a module, it started to work.
Thanks for the repsonse! |
