I did an emerge of xfree-4.2.0-r4 after unmasking it locally. |
| 2 |
Everything seemed to work just fine. Except once again there was no 3d |
| 3 |
acceleration for my Voodoo 3 card (I always seem to get this). I tried |
| 4 |
all the debugging steps suggested on dri.sourceforge.net and they all |
| 5 |
indicated that DRI was working. Trouble was it was not ! |
| 6 |
So I created an xfree-4.2.0-r5.ebuild on my machine with the following |
| 7 |
lines added: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
echo "#define XF86CardDrivers vga tdfx mga ati i810" >> |
| 10 |
config/cf/host.def |
| 11 |
echo "#define BuildXF86DRI YES" >> config/cf/host.def |
| 12 |
echo "#define HasGlide3 YES" >> config/cf/host.def |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you look at the ebuild you will see where to put these after: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
echo "#define DefaultCCOptions -ansi" >> config/cf/host.def |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Then I copied the r4 digest to an r5 digest: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
#cp /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/digest-xfree-4.2.0-r4 |
| 21 |
/usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/digest--xfree-4.2.0-r5 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
and did: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
emerge x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r5 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Many hours later I have gears running at 222.2 FPS instead of 33, ta da ! |
| 28 |
OK this only an old K6 266 box so this quite good I think. |

This assumes you have glide 3 installed already I guess. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
3dfx has always failed for me with Gentoo (And every other distro I |
| 33 |
have tried). Perhaps we need a "USE 3dfx" variable to fix this. Sorry |
| 34 |
I don't have time to get serious about this just now. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Anyway I hope this helps someone. |
