I'm trying to run the radeong implementation on my RV410 based laptop under OpenSuse. I have xserver 1.8.0 and xorg-X11-drivers-video 7.5-26.2 all from my distributions factory (experimental) repositories.
I have used git to get a copy of mesa and compiled the 64bit version with gallium. All seems ok and if I make a link from radeong_dri to r300_dri I can get glxinfo to say I am running gallium. However, I can only get GL version 1.5 reported and would like to get 2.x
My questions are:-
1. Is it possible to get 2.X on an RV410 based card?
2. radeong_dri replaces r300_dri but what does radeong_drv do? I tried putting it in place of r300_drv in the xorg directories but that did not produce a happy result. So what does radeong_drv do? Where does it fit in?
3. If the version numbers of things like libGLUT in the git build match those in the distribution can I assume they do exactly the same thing (the file sizes are very different but could that just be extra debug information)
Eventually, I would like to put the right files in the right places in my file structure to match the distributions ideas but I am not clear which ones to replace - thus the questions. Any general explanations of the way xorg and mesa interact would also be useful
Thanks in advance for any help of advice.
