SatnSpwn.. you are correct. I figured it out a few days ago, that several key links are missing, and they all point to libglide3.so.3.10.0... I have made all the links, and now I have acceleration! However, I do get SDL Parachute deployed errors with crack-attack and chromium all of the time when trying to start those games. glxgears works fine, and there are no errors in glxinfo, but... still... I can't actually use the acceleration on many games. Supertux will work with opengl enabled, however, the background disappears when I do that. My guess is that the background textures are larger than the banshee can handle. If you have any insight into these problems, I would be so appreciative.

Well, like I showed a few posts ago, the Mandrivia rpm is missing several key files that is needed to make glx work, and thus, the 3d acceleration. Basically, glx calls on glide, and the glide libraries are incomplete... and this is for several distros .rpms I see. If you go back, you can see that glx calls on these files, and since they aren't present, it uses mesas software rendering. The video driver, tdfx, is being used, and is fine. Its the acceleration which is used through the glide3 libraries where the error is. --Kris

Here is the output of what you asked [krisbee@localhost ~]$ urpmf --name Mesa libMesaGLU1:libMesaGLU1-5.0.2-11mdk.i586.rpm libMesaGL1:libMesaGL1-5.0.2-11mdk.i586.rpm Mesa:Mesa-5.0.2-11mdk.i586.rpm libMesaglut3:libMesaglut3-5.0.2-11mdk.i586.rpm I've tried building the glide libraries from the source code, but with no luck, and they are known for being quite touchy. It seems my dri is installed correctly, along with the xorg server and its' files. Its' still seems to be glide communicating to glx where the breakdown has happened. I still can't believe I am the only one on this distro who wanted to get their 3d accel on... has anyone done it successfully? Thanks again for your suggestions... keep 'em coming! Kris

well, mesa I believe is installed... my glxinfo says mesa indirect is doing all of the 3d rendering. Here is a quote from that other thread where I think the error really is: here is the rpm for Mandrivia.. here is the info for the rpm.

I think I have narrowed down the problem.. and its a Mandrivia .rpm problem.. Here is a link to where I have been working with the 3dfx gurus.. http://p197.ezboard.com/fx3dfxfrm2.showMes...icID=3364.topic Basically, there are more glide files than the .rpm has in it, and the glx series of programs searches for them, and doesn't find them. Has noone in all of Mandrake since 2003 had a Banshee and tried to accelerate it? I have been trying to build from glides source file, but, strangely enough, its' also missing files from it. I had to dl them from the cvs of the group. Will keep trying to build the source and see if this fixes the problem.

Hello to all. I am new to linux, but have some experience. I have a Voodoo Banshee, which my Mandrivia LE 2006 correctly identified and installed. However, when running glxgears, I have a terrible frame rate. Running glxinfo tells me that direct rendering is set at no, and I am using the MESA rendering. I ran mcc, went to hardware/video card, tried running either tdfx directly, or the banshee. It prompted me if I want to use Xorg w/ 3d acceleration turned on. I select it to do so. Still, no accelleration. I edited xorg.conf/XF8Config, and I do have load "glx" on the line, but no load "dri"... so I add it, and that didn't do anything different. I have installed via rpm the glide 5 drivers... so, I am running out of ideas on what needs to be done to get the 3d acceleration working on my machine. I run it at 16bit color (read that the 3d won't work on higher color depths). I run at 1028X764.. but have tried it at 800X600 (just in case)... Any ideas? Please point me in the right direction. I have searched, but most info is way outdated now since 3dfx collapsed. Thank you in advance, Kris
