Matthias,

We have updated the SUSE 9.1 distro with the latest available patches using YAST but the test still fails. Also note that if the Nvidia driver is installed it will work. I do not know how other HW acceleration drivers behave.

Any chance of a 9.1 fix or is 9.1 basically dead now since the release of SUSE 9.2 is right around the corner?

Thanks, Robert

Works flawlessly with 9.2 here. So I guess it is a known bug that's already fixed. Did you install any Xserver updates with Yast?

Output:

BTW - your make script is somewhat broken. Why is anything installed in /opt/graphics/OpenGL? These should be system files. You are missing -lGLU.

Hope this helps

Have you tried using the new xorg replacement? There is a new version of it on SuSE's mirrors now that appears to work nicely. No problems thus far. Since XFree is being discontinued by SuSE and xorg is the included interface with 9.2, it seems likely that will cure your problem. It is available for 9.1 now. Just a thought, Lee

I think you will find that XFree86 is not used on SuSE 9.2. In essence, because of some licensing issues. The past few years there had been some feuding in the X community. The winner is x.org, which is really the former X consortium. Also, there are some hidden things in SuSE 9.2.

As Xorg is based on XFree 4.3.99, this can still be seen as the same code basis (e.g. the same bugs *might* turn up). And what do you mean with hidden things? The only thing I can think of is that we have approx. 50 patches added w.r.t. Xorg 6.8.1, most of which are already included in the cvs as well (and the remainder is SuSE specific).
