Overview

Linux is the primary development platform for DRI. Nvidia and ATI provide binary drivers for their range of graphics chipsets which usually outporform their Open Source equivalants.

However, in terms of ease of configuration and stability, the DRI drivers work better for me.

OS Environment

  • Fedora Core 5

Hardware

  • HP Compaq nc6000 with ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 (M10/M11 4E50)
  • Intel 440BX with ATI Rage r128

Using the ATI FirelGL Drivers From Livna

Livna is a 3rd party yum repository which provides binary only drivers from Nvidia and ATI in a packaged form. See http://rpm.livna.org/livna-switcher.html

Add the repo 

sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm

Install Driver 

yum install kmod-fglrx
sudo /usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable
sudo reboot

Screw it, use r300 from CVS DRI.

r300

As of this time (June 2006), ATI Radeon r300 drivers dont ship with FC5. Compile it from CVS as described in http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building
