Can I get a w00t!
Posted By matt on July 16, 2008
I have 3D on my laptop (Thinkpad T60 with a Radeon X1400, for the curious)
Full screen glxgears @ 139FPS.
By looking at the DRI git commits, I knew that folks had gotten this to work on a similar laptop using the same video card as I have. So, I didn't bother with the hardware validation.
I used their script described in step 2, but I had to git-revert the previous commit, since it introduces a file which breaks the build. After that, it built and installed smoothly.
All other packages were sourced from the repositories listed in the instructions, and I just did an upgrade.
And then the keyboard didn't work. Apparently, the autodetection on this bleeding edge build isn't as good as the release build, so I needed to add:
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
to the ServerLayout.
Also, the Trackpoint buttons didn't work, but that was twofold. One, I needed to add:
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
and two, I needed to change the driver in that section from vmmouse to mouse, because apparently vmmouse doesn't exist anymore or something…
So, 3D works, and when I close and reopen the screen, it no longer goes all wonky forcing me to flip from one VT to another. I haven't tried suspend/resume yet, but I will let folks know how it goes.
