What is drm under XFree86?
My X server keeps crashing, and it's more than a little annoying. It happens when I'm scrolling a window by click-and-holding on the scroll button and dragging it up-and-down, or when I move my mouse really fast. It happens more frequently the first way. It does not happen every time I do so. The only thing that gets printed anywhere is in the console, and in messages: double kernel: [drm:drm_release] *ERROR* Process 444 dead, freeing lock for context 1 Any advice? My setup is SuSE 7.1, XFree86 4.1.0, and a Voodoo3 AGP card. My windows manager is XFCe. Thanks!
I could be wrong, but seeings how you have a Voodoo3 card I think it's a safe bet that its the "Direct Rendering Module" for dri - the "Direct Rendering Interface". Make sure you have the lines at the end of the XF86Config with Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection HTH, Curtis On Wednesday 29 August 2001 11:12, Timothy Reaves wrote:

Thanks, that's there. What is DRI used for? What applications? Can I safely disable it? Curtis Rey <crrey@home.com> wrote:

DRI is 3D acceleration. It's used by games, video display programs like xine. You can safely disable it, but do you want to? :)
DRI is used for 3D for various Non-nVidia cards (earlier nv used too). If you want 3D with your voodoo card you need dri Curtis On Wednesday 29 August 2001 13:35, Timothy Reaves wrote:
