Thank you for the advice.
Is the DRI (Open GL) function working for you ?
I tried again following the advices at the given address (which by the way
has moved to http://avis.lightband.com/david/rage128-howto.html)
I have installed kernel 2.4.0 (not test anymore) because of a note that was
unclear to me (* NOTE: kernel 2.4.0 work only with XFree86 4.02.
Everything before 2.4.0 (i.e. 2.3-(2.4.0-test)) works with XFree86 4.01.)
DRI still doesn't work...
Here is part of my log file for X :
XFree86 Version 4.0.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 18 December 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.18 i686 [ELF]
<--- I don't understand that ??
