 Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2004 8:08 pm Post subject: Seting X to 16bpp depth to enable GLX on a Voodo3 |
 |
|
after a lot of hard work and serching i am just a few steps away form getting glx and therefore quake3 running on my system, i have looked throu the xorg logs and found a reason why GLX isnt loading:
| Code: |
(EE) TDFX(0): [dri] tdfx DRI not supported in 32 bpp mode, disabling DRI.
(II) TDFX(0): [dri] To use DRI, invoke the server using 16 bpp
(-depth 15 or -depth 16).
|
at this stage unfortunitally i draw a blank as to how to boot x using the -depth 16 command, as my system boots Xdm which loads GDM which boots Enlightenment i dont know what file runs the 'startx' command (im asssuming 'startx -depth 16' is the command i need to run)
if anyone can point me in the rite direction id be very happy. |

You can change the bit depth of X permenantly in your XF86config look for DefaultDepth in the Screen Section. Or if you just want to change it temporary you can also go to the console do:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/xdm stop |
and then manually start X with the startx command. I think in your case the right command would be
| Code: | | startx -- -depth 16 |
The -- tells the startx script that the options following should be passed to X. |

| When you change the DefaultDepth in XF86config X will use that bit depth at each following boot /start. |

i think i should point out im using xorg on the 2.6.8 kernel (all relovent drivers have been loaded into the kernel)
--getting logs to show y'all--...
oh.. thats NOT good 
| Code: |
bash-2.05b$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Segmentation fault
....
bash-2.05b$ glxgears
Segmentation fault
....
(then from the logs)
(II) TDFX(0): [DRI] installation complete
(==) TDFX(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) RandR enabled
....
bash-2.05b$ cat Xorg.0.log | grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

You might try searching for "voodoo dri" on these forums, help may be on the way 
Your problem surely lies with glide, which is a real bitch. See this post.
