Forget my experiments with X.org 6.9.
These modules work with puppys X.org 6.8.1.
They enable the 3D-Hardware-acelleration for a wide variety of Graficscards, so they are a "must" for people who like to play games.

Note if you have a Nvidia-card, use these instructions instead:

Note
For ATI-cards up to the "200"-series, there also is an experimental Dotpup of ATIs propriatary Drivers (Feedback needed!):

******************************************************
Download free X.org-DRI-drivers (424 kb):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI-Kernelmodules.pup
Install, then run the following command in a console after every reboot, or add this line as second line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local0
install-DRI MODULNAME
Instead of MODULNAME you must use the name of your module.
If you want to load radeon.o , use
/usr/local/install-DRI/install-DRI radeon
These modules are available:
i810.o
i830.o
i915.o
mach64.o
mga.o (Matrox)
r128.o (Rage)
radeon.o
savage.o
sis.o (not 650)
tdfx.o
via.o (note: better "unichrome-driver" available in a following message)
You also will need a "dri"-file especially for your graficscard, get it from here:
http://noforum.de/dotpups/X11R6addons/
important on Puppy1.0.7 / 1.0.8 the "Xorg-libGL/Mesa"-libraries must be installed with PupGet.
You also should install glxinfo to test if DRI is enabled:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/download.php?id=1756
Some cards like mach64 might need this OpenGL-version instead (it already includes glxinfo): http://noforum.de/dotpups/X11R6addons/OpenGL.pup
-------------------------------------
Finally, modify your xorg.conf with an editor - in Section "Module" check that Load "dbe" and Load "glx" are there.
Add this line:
Code: Select all
Load "dri"
Run "glxinfo" in a consolewindow and hope to see "direct rendering: Yes"
These pictures show, what nice effects you can get, playing Doomsday on a Pentium 700 with a old ATI-Radeo 7000 VE-card:
