Hi folks, I am trying to understand how to get opengl working on my compaq evo n1000v laptop with radeon M7 LW (7500) and it seems pretty confusing. Can someone break it down for me a little bit? Here's what my current understanding is:
A kernel module is required, my kernel (2.4.22) includes a radeon module, will this do, or do I need one from somewhere else? I need a recent XFree86, I've got 4.3.0 prev1 from experimental, but I keep reading about DRI trunk, and I don't know what I should be using I have the xlibmesa-* packages installed which is what I understand I need What's next? From what I can tell, I do not actually have accelerated graphics working... glxinfo gives this: libGL error: InitDriver failed display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 Any suggestions or documentation anyone can give would be much appreciated, documentation especially as I would like to actually understand how all this stuff works...
