[dri] Disabling DRI. It's pretty clear here. Zero video hardware supports 3D acceleration at 8 bit depth. You're aparently using 8bit depth and have DRI enabled, so the module loads, detects you're using an unsupported depth, and tells you that. >(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected Your digital flat panel is not being detected. >I have been unable to resolve this problem and , if this card is as well >supported as mentioned below, how come so many other people have experienced >similar problems. I look forward to any suggestions. If so many other people have experienced similar problems, how come I have never heard even a single person ever mention it before? Considering this is quite a long time after the Red Hat Linux 8.0 release, and also considering that the XFree86 that is in 7.3 a good 6 months before that, and I have never heard of this problem before, I would consider it very isolated and non-common. You might want to start X in a sane bit depth though. 8bit is basically considered legacy. Choose 24bit depth for best results. -- Mike A.
