ilia_kr Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) I think I don't have a 3d support on my 3dfx Mighty Banshee video card under FC4. My guess is based on some facts: 1. some 3d screen savers run exetremely slow if at all; 2. Picasa's special effects don't work 3. some linux games don't work either my xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "unix/:7100" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Load "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "L1750SQ" DisplaySize 340 270 HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "tdfx" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Banshee (generic)" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection How can i enable 3d support?

ianw1974 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've never seen the: Group 0 line in the dri section before. Maybe place a # before this. Also make sure you have the mesa libraries installed, as you normally need these for opengl. I know how to install this in Mandriva, but unsure in FC4. Try a: yum list available mesa* to see what's available and install corresponding package. An easy way to check is: glxinfo | grep direct and see if direct rendering is yes or no.

ilia_kr Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I got this reply: [root@ilia-fc4 ilia]# glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 OK, well I would suggest checking yum to see if you have any "mesa" packages, my post contained the command you need to type to find it. This will probably need to be installed, it looks like you've not got them installed perhaps. Although I remember someone who had a 3DFX card and couldn't get opengl working, can't remember whether it was Voodoo/Banshee or whatever, but you might have a hard time with it, since the cards are old.
