I am experimenting with DRI on my IBM Thinkpad T23 running FC4. For this
purpose, I rebuilt M. Harris' testing X.org 6.8.99.14 package with activated
"savage" DRI support. After starting the graphical environment, X reports
"(II) SAVAGE(0): Direct rendering enabled" which is rather satisfactory :)
In the beginning, "SELinux" used to be enabled by default. However, this
lead to segmentation faults when calling applications which depend on
OpenGL, e.g. in the case of "glxinfo". The corresponding "dmesg" entry read:
"Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e0c10000
printing eip:

There is a prior entry saying:
"mtrr: base(0xe4000000) is not aligned on a size(0x5000000) boundary"
The curious thing is that when "SELinux" is disabled at boot time through
option "selinux=disabled" in "", DRI works correctly. Sure, the 3D
performance is pretty poor, but anyway. Has anybody observed this behaviour,
too? Any clues how to make SELinux and DRI make play together peacefully?
