Further down my list of google results was a link to an old debian problem, which mentioned that Mach64 is not built because of security issues, and referenced http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIMach64
See 'Why isn't Mach64 built by default?' on that page. I would guess that the separate mach64 driver in more recent xorg probably works, and that this page is obsolete but relevant to xorg-7.2. The link to the mini-HOWTO is dead. If you agree with my analysis of what that page might mean, I guess you could try to build the oldest release of xf86-video-mach64 (6.8.0, or 6.8.2 which probably has more fixes but might have newer dependencies). I suspect that they will need newer dependencies, but it is probably worth trying to build them in case they work for you. The alternatives are to do without dri, or to use a newer version of xorg. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
