[Bug 608138] New: Missing 3D acceleration for Matrox graphics cards
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608138 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608138#c0 Summary: Missing 3D acceleration for Matrox graphics cards Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pei@freenet.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Although enabled in sax2, the 3D hardware acceleration of a Matrox G550 card does not work (e.g. in Google Earth or glxgears). /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports: (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/mga_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/mga_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Apparently the Mesa package is simply missing the file "mga_dri.so". A work-around is to extract this file from the Mesa package of another Linux distribution (e.g. mesa-dri-drivers-7.8.1-6.fc13.i686.rpm) and copying it to /usr/lib/dri/mga_dri.so. I (and many others) had this problem already with openSuSE 11.1. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

mga DRI driver has been disabled by intention.
Actually, DRI was *enabled* by default, but since the driver was missing, it did not work and the Xorg server reported an error. Imho providing options that just don't work creates a very bad user experience. Using the driver from Fedora has worked for my many months and I did not encounter any graphics related crashes. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, I was referring to the 3D hardware acceleration that does not work because mga_dri.so could not be loaded. The software renderer worked without setting any variables, but for most 3D applications this is not really an option.
In the meantime... mga_dri.so is back in Mesa. :-) See bnc #466635 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466635 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
