Redhat Linux 7.0,
XFree86 4.0.2,
Kernel 2.4.0 -- agp module for DRI loaded according to XFree86 log,
Dual PIII 800,
384mb ram,
Matrox G400 32mb AGP.
Problem(s):
It complains it cannot find the mga_hal module. Did I miss something
during installation/configuration?
I've been trying to play the Soldier of Fortune and Heavy Gear II demos, but
they play extremely slow.
I want to buy and play Linux games, but not in slide-show mode.

Does /var/log/XFree86.0.log have a line similar to:Quote:> I've been trying to play the Soldier of Fortune and Heavy Gear II demos, but

Direct Rendering Enabled
or perhaps,
Direct Rendering Disabled
I'm not sure if the Matrox drivers currently support AGP 4x...

Option "AGPMode2x"
to the Device section of your XF86Config file... ie:
Section "Device"
Identifier "matrox1"
VendorName "Matrox"
Driver "mga"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
Option "AGPMode2x"
EndSection
You can try AGPMode4x to see if it does any good, if you want.

export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
and run a small GL app. The first few lines should be debugging info.

libGL: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/mga_dri.so
libGL error: dlopen failed: undefined symbol: XF86DRIOpenFullScreen

I also ran 'glxinfo' and it said "No direct rendering."

I ordered Soldier of Fortune and Heretic II. I already have Quake III
and Myth II.
Might have to go get Heavy Gear II soon.
oh, and these anti-aliased fonts look cool on the desktop!

1. Best AGP 2.0 1x/2x/3x/4x card
TV in? I'm pretty sure that TV-in is usually only found on TV tuner
and/or video capture cards. The exception would be the ATI All-in-Wonder
series, which includes a built-in TV tuner, among other things.
Since you're using a fairly old distro, I think your best bet would be to
go with a newer nVidia-based card (the "GeForce" cards). You can download
their binary drivers for RedHat 6.2, so actually supporting your card will be
no problem -- just download and install the appropriate RPM from
www.nvidia.com. You won't find an nVidia card with TV-in, though. You can
find cards with TV-out, and they have dual monitor support called "TwinView"
on many cards, so just look for one of their cards with both TV-out and
TwinView support.
