Alright, I'm confused. :) (Crossposted to a couple more groups for some more
insight?)


I used alien on the tdfx_dri rpm (3dfx's X server package), used
dpkg --extract to open it in a separate location, and copied *their* libGL,
GLU, glut, etc. etc. into /usr/lib along with the symlinks (and ldconfig'd
it).

If I run 'gears' it seems to run OK, and then when I quit gears I get this
output:

chris:/home/chris# (0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(0): [drm] unmapping 4096 bytes of SAREA 0xcfaf6000 at 0x40017000
(==) TDFX(0): Write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x2000000)

(0): X context handle = 0x00000001
(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) TDFX(0): direct rendering enabled

So what's going on? Is it running hardware accelerated or not?! glxinfo
reports 'Mesa Indirect' but this looks like it might *really* be running in
hardware (glxinfo somehow in error)?  As in when gears quits it re-inits the
hardware after using it, or is it re-init-ing the hardware because it didn't
use it....

RRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr.  Confusing.
