Is there an uptodate howto, where I can se the different branches needed for kms/3d/2d/xv?
I have builded with 3d support one time before, but it was very unstable then. Now its time to try again. And this time with kms
But can someone post a short howto with branches and in which order I have to install the stack? thx. When everything is moving so fast, its hard to keep up :-)
Those saying nvidia driver development is moving faster, is lying.

For instance, can I get 3D (with or without KMS) from these packages?
linux 2.6.32-rc1
mesa 7.6
xf86-video-ati 6.12.4
libdrm 2.4.14

It is a good question.
linux 2.6.32-rc1 and xf86-video-ati should be new enough (the kernel definitely is), and I believe that Mesa 7.6 has plenty of r600+ 3d code in it.
libdrm is probably not recent enough, though.
Here, I have 2.6.32-rc1 with everything else from git, and it works on many things, but hangs with some games. I guess my libdrm and the kernel-drm are still out of sync.
I'll have to upgrade to the latest drm-next, but I can't get a snapshot via git so I can't merge that branch.
EDIT: The problems I describe are with KMS, without KMS, things work like a charm.Last edited by pingufunkybeat; 29 September 2009, 03:57 PM.

I don't know about mesa.
