Hello everyone, as the subject says, get the latest ~ppc xfree and xfree-drm, |
| 2 |
and if you have a r128 or radeon based setup, you _should_ end up with |
| 3 |
working DRI in xfree. |

Currently watching around 1250fps in glxgears, 80fps fullscreen 1280x1024 in |
| 6 |
armagetron on my radeon 7500 on G4 733 + Apple DFP. |

points of note: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
make sure your /usr/src/linux symlink is pointed to your _active_ kernel when |
| 11 |
you compile. Also if you update kernel you will have to re-emerge xfree-drm |
| 12 |
(it provides the kernel modules). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Also, if you are a KDE user and you are updating from older versions of |
| 15 |
fontconfig/freetype/xft for the xfree upgrades, you may also have to re |
| 16 |
emerge kdelibs and qt to build against this newer stuff. You will notice |
| 17 |
right away if you need too (fonts will be badly borked). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you used Xeasyconf, you will also want to update that one and re-run as |
| 20 |
well. Older versions had a bug where it didn't always set a valid XKB layout |
| 21 |
and the pre XKB modes are broken in that snapshot (will be fixed by vendor |
| 22 |
for release). |

As always, please report any bugs to bugs.gentoo.org, and always include the |
| 25 |
output of "emerge info" (no quotes). Thanks to all and happy Gentoo'ing |
