how to solve missing "XFree86-DRI" on display ":0.0"
hi,
I need help with installing a program called GLITCH to do an OpenGL assignment.
I have Mandrake 9.0. I've downloaded the openGL libraries from the Mesa website.
When I want to execute GLITCH it says:
That just means you don't have direct rendering on display 0,0 the display you are on.
post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 the graphics part.
also see if this helps; http://info.ccone.at/INFO/mandrake/9...xfdrake-expert
you will need the "sis" driver

hi,
This is what is written in the XF86Config-4 file:
# File generated by XFdrake.
# **********************************************************************
# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of
# this file.
# **********************************************************************
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work
#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
EndSection
hi,
I added that section to the XF86Config-4, and somehow my GUI disappeared and I had to run Mandrake on the console.
Anyway, I asked friends about the problem and they said I have to download the OpenGL driver for my graphics card.
My graphics card is SiS 630. However, I can't find any OpenGL driver for Sis 630 for OS Mandrake 9.1. All I found is for Windows.
Do anyone know where I can download Sis 630 OpenGL driver for Mandrake 9.1 ? Could you please direct me.
I hate to be the one to tell you but your card may not support direct rendering in linux,
I use a cheap nvidia card I got at wal-mart because they support linux.
Distribution: Redhat Linux 8 & 9, Fedora Core 2, XP

Hi there,
I am kind of having a similar problem... mine's "GLX" instead of "XFree86-DRI"
Using Asus Radeon 9200SE 128MB, I had the fglrx driver working with an older Radeon but this time I don't know what's wrong...
Also, I didn't compile DRI into the kernel... My XF86Config-4 is similar to the one above, I have dri and glx.
Any suggestions?
You need to go to http://dri.sourceforge.net and get the dri driver for the sis300 chipset which includes these chipsets SiS 300, SiS 305, SiS 540, SiS 630/S/ST/E/ET and SiS 730/S
There is lots of documentation there you need to read. You should make a pot of coffee and plan on spending some time there.
