Yesterday, I finally installed mplayer on my good old Ultra5 with Mach64 on-board graphic card, and I noticed that I had no xv extention on my X server. After some research, I find a way (not the best I think ...) to install it quite quickly so I write this little howto.

Get and prepare the DRI source for Mach64
Code:
mkdir ~/DRI-CVS
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co -rmach64-0-0-6-branch xc

get the patch from http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/dri-xv/mach64-dri-xv-20030331.diff.gz
and apply it
Code:
cd ~/DRI-CVS/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati
mv ~/mach64-dri-xv-20030331.diff.gz .
gunzip -c mach64-dri-xv-XXX.diff.gz | patch -p1

then prepare the source
Code:

cd ~/DRI-CVS
ln -s xc XFree40
mkdir build
cd build
lndir -silent -ignorelinks ../XFree40


Compiling the source
Once you have prepare the source, you just go in build/xc and compile the source
Code:
cd build/xc
make World


Copying library and XFree drivers
The last step is to copy the extention library and the XFree drivers (feel free to backup your old files)
Code:
cp ~/DRI-CVS/build/xc/exports/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/
cp ~/DRI-CVS/build/xc/exports/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
cp ~/DRI-CVS/build/xc/exports/lib/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/



Now you can restart your X server and xvinfo should give you something like that
Code:

now I can watch video in fullscreen mode :)

Conclusion
There can be some other way to make xv work with the mach64, the most obvious is using the gatos drivers, but you will need to recompile the whole xfree to use them.
The other thing is that you should be able to make DRI for Mach64 with this tricks, but Mesa opengl seems to be broken on sparc (bug # 19776 )

Did you need to make any changes to XF86Config? Maybe if you can post it. I still can't get direct rendering to work on my mach 64 3d rage pro.

In fact, the tricks works only to get X-Video support. For DRI, there is some problems to fix :
the library libgl is broken on sparc with xfree 4.3, but there is a workaround (just tried it yesterday) : you rebuild a working libgl using the DRI-CVS tree and this workaround:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19776#c8
there is a problem with the sparc.c : it tries to include a file that is missing (but I can't remember the name of the file), just try and comment the #include statement in sparc.c and it should work
then to get DRI working, I have a problem too, I can build the mach64.o kernel module, but I can't insmod it (pb of unresolved symbol).
I'm still trying and will post if I get results
