This was posted on another forum, but I was told by Daniel Borca to post it here...
All of you, I just want to say how great this board still has postings! Maybe you can help me, because I am going out of my head getting this Banshee to work.
I am using Mandriva 2006 LE, with xorg 6.9... I couldn't get my banshee to do any direct rendering for a long time.. until I discovered that the rpms that shipped with the distro, specifically the Glide 3.10.0, was missing symbolic links... once I fixed that, I got glxinfo to show direct rendering, and glxgears to show a fps that was good.
However, I can't run anything else 3d... there always is a crash. Help me install this thing correctly, please!
It's hard following the directions, since things have been so long since they were written. Xorg is not XF86... the device driver I don't believe is supposed to be compiled anymore...
Please help!
Here is my glxinfo:

All of you, I just want to say how great this board still has postings! Maybe you can help me, because I am going out of my head getting this Banshee to work.
I am using Mandriva 2006 LE, with xorg 6.9... I couldn't get my banshee to do any direct rendering for a long time.. until I discovered that the rpms that shipped with the distro, specifically the Glide 3.10.0, was missing symbolic links... once I fixed that, I got glxinfo to show direct rendering, and glxgears to show a fps that was good.
However, I can't run anything else 3d... there always is a crash. Help me install this thing correctly, please!
It's hard following the directions, since things have been so long since they were written. Xorg is not XF86... the device driver I don't believe is supposed to be compiled anymore...
Please help!
