I was using 'mesa' + 'mesa-progs' (read/write error by me). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I updated to the latest versions 7.0.1 7.0.1 2.1.1 & rebooted |
| 9 |
& there is no change: X crashes as soon as 'glxinfo' starts |
| 10 |
with the same error message "unrecognised deviceID 29c2" |
| 11 |
while using /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so . |
| 12 |

I note your comment re continuing development |
| 14 |
& suspect it hasn't caught up with the hardware yet (smile). |
| 15 |
Is there any way of testing the other 3 versions in the dir, |
| 16 |
which I listed in the previous msg (one is 'i915tex') ? |

I'ld like to get it working, if possible, |
| 19 |
but software acceleration with Core 2 Duo & Intel G33 is faster |
| 20 |
than hardware acceleration with Athlon 2500+ & Nvidia MX400 (current box): |
| 21 |
former 1491 - 1530 vs latter 1212 fps . |
| 22 |
An upto-date Nvidia EN8500GT card costs CAD 104 + tax , |
| 23 |
too much merely for Xscreensavers, but affordable if needed otherwise. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Your & others' further comments & suggestions are very welcome. |
