 |
|
| Is it possible to get DRI working on an alpha PWS500a and a Matrox G450 videocard. I used the Hardware 3D acceleration guide at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml. |

Until recently, no. However, recent work by the DRI developers has allowed PCI cards now to operate using the DRI. I suspect you'll need to download the CVS version of the DRI and perhaps even the CVS version of Xorg. Good chance you'll be the first Alpha user testing it though. Good luck!

| Ok, I'm trying to get this to work One question, is using "5. Using the CVS sources" possible as described in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml? Because the drm package only works with kernel 2.4, I'm running 2.6... Also, did none of the alpha developers tried to get this to work? |

Good bet that the gentoo package is out of date and not maintained.
You can get the package from the web at: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download and compile it yourself |

Ok, I followed the following guide http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building and everything compiled and installed fine. However, when I restarted Xorg, still no drm, but maybe following log snippets might help:

While in /var/log/messages I get:

|
If I do a 'modprobe drm', I get the following error in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | | Sep 14 15:31:12 loek drm: Unknown symbol pci_find_class |
What do these "Unknown symbol" messages mean? Did I compile everything wrong?
So, Xorg, drm and Mesa compile and install, but don't work (yet )
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! |

Might this be related? Does anybody actually has an idea? |

I've seen a kernel patch in 2.6.14 ChangeLog about something related to those warnings... might worth the try.
Cheers,
Ferdy |

It might be worth your time to post what you have done on the DRI mailing list and file a bug at their bugsillz located here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/. This seems like a bug to me as there are lots of Alpha users out there with the PCI Matrox video adapters, but I would imagine this functionality just hasn't been tested on the alpha yet.
These messages..
{standard input}:77: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .got
..are pretty standard for the Alpha kernel compile. I get them and am able to use a Radeon PCI to do accelerated 3D with no (serious) problems. |

Be sure to keep us posted if you get it to work!!
I've got a PC164, 500Mhz, 512MB, that currently has a Matrox Mil2 card. I've got a G450 card lying around that I tried a few months back but I couldn't get it to work except using the frame-buffer X server. Can you say Slloooooooowwwwwww????
Man how I'd like to have DRI working on that box...

| Small update. It seems that something broke the mga drm on August 4th... Of course, this holds back the whole drm on alpha with the G4xx cards (Relevant bugs at freedesktop.org are 4508 and 4797). |

| More updates. Drm with mga and a g450 should be fixed when you have a g450 AGP version. There is a new bug report for the PCI version. Hopefully we'll have DRI son |
