If you've made it this far, you've surpassed me.
DRI documentation do a mention to a *kernel* based driver that i cannot found in nowhere, thats tdfx.o, the most similar is the tdfx_drv.o
Right. It's in the 2.3 kernels, not 2.2 (even SuSE's).
*** How (the hell) can I have an XFree 4.0 system with DRI interface working right on my SuSE 6.0 with a Voodoo III 3000 AGP graphics card without die in the attempt???? ***
Let's start with this: Why (the hell) do you need 4? 3.3.6 and the appropriate GLide don't suffer much of an impact in performance if you're learning the development end. One is no truer to OpenGL than the other. You're putting yourself through a lot of head- and heartache...
I've purchased that Voodoo not because Quake but because I want to learn OpenGL in an acelerated environment, that's the same reason because i've installed XFree40 by its DRI support. But... (sig!)
To be honest with you, your money may have been better spent elsewhere. The 3Dfx cards, though fast, aren't the best place to learn OpenGL. A better choice would have been an nVidia card. My mother always said, "Hindsight is 20/20" ;).
If i could find a secure manner to test, at least, what things are really working and what others not...
Not much, really. XFree86 4.0 is, well, an x.0 release. Give it six months before you start passing judgement or using it in production environments.
Can someone help me? hey, SuSE guys, come on, you know a lot of this, can you please, please, help me?
I just want to make sure that your motives are in line first.
Have a good one,
The same to you, sir :). Honestly, I don't mean to give you a hard time and insult your intelligence; you knew enough to avoid NT, didn't you? ;) -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
