Hi, I'm setting up Gentoo on a system that has integrated Xabre 330 video. This board can play quake 3 at decent fps on Windows and I'd like to try and getting it running on Linux as well. However, I can't seem to get DRI working. Here's some useful info for anyone that wants to help me.

Code:
tux home # lspci | grep AGP
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 330 [Xabre] PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter (rev 01)
tux home #

Code:
tux home # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep AGP
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS330 [Xabre] PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter rev 1, Mem @ 0xc0000000/27, 0xcfec0000/18, I/O @ 0xbc00/7
        SIS6326/AGP/DVD, SIS300/305, SIS630/730, SIS540, SIS315, SIS315H,
(WW) SIS(0): Option "NvAGP" is not used
tux home #

Code:
tux home # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DRI
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(==) SIS(0): DRI disabled
tux home #
Code:
tux home # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep dri
    Load        "dri"
# Identifier and driver
tux home #


And finally, some parts of glxinfo:
Code:
tux home # glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2


glxgears only gives me about 183 fps :(

Well, after messing around I was able to get Xorg to recognise DRI. I saw this line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and immediately jumped for joy....
Code:
(**) SIS(0): Option "DRI" "on"
(**) SIS(0): DRI enabled

But then I noticed just a couple lines down....the following line:
Code:
(NI) SIS(0): DRI not supported on this chipset


Man what a tease. I guess I'll give up on this mission. :( If anyone has any additional info on DRI for this chipset, like if there are plans to support it, please let me know. Thanks.
