Hello fellow Linux enthusiasts! I just finished installing from sources
kernel-2.4.5, did all of the config as instructed on dri doc page, (I am
using RH7.0 with latest patches + Ximian 1.4 gnome + obviously new kernel),
and Installed Xfree 4.1 from sources. X server works flawlessly in 2d but
when I try 3d it becomes obivous that it is not utilizing DRI (it is
terribly slow). I did glxinfo and got VA Linux Systems Inc. as OpenGL
vendor, using SGI server glx vendor string and all that, but direct
rendering is reported as a "no." When I was making latest Xfree i used "make
World" and then "make install" and to the best of my knowledge it has
installed dri (no errors reported in any of the compiling jobs, including
kernel). The problem is also that no one has addressed following issue
clearly -- that ATI Mobility M4 is different than M3: M3 is offspring of the
Rage 128 while M4 is of Rage 128 PRO. I still haven't gotten a clear-cut
answer whether this darn M4 is even supported by DRI due to fact that DRI
docs only mention support for MOBILITY cards which is incomplete info since
it has been there unchanged for a long time and thus it can reflect any of
at least 5 if not more completely different mobility video cards that have
been released by Ati in the past few years. Can someone please shed some
light on this issue since so far the documentation and help from other
sources has been inadequate if not non-existent. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you! Sincerely,

Ivica "Ico" Bukvic, composer
