3D OpenGL for S3/Pro Savage DDR-K

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am seeking a driver, or information about a driver for Suse Linux 9.0 that 
will allow video accleration ( 3D OpenGL) on my brand new machine.

My video chipset is a Via/S3 chipset.  It's part of the VIA KM266 on the MB 
Northbridge   The model is S3/Pro Savage DDR-K.

I have found information about a basic driver, but it doesn't seem to allow 3D 
( even though this chipset is quite capable of accleration, I know since I 
dual boot Windos ).

So far, my searching has revealed:

In which the author says:

VIA/S3 has release an updated version of THEIR Savage driver. It forked off of 
my source base about 3 years ago, so there are significant differences, but 
it looks like they have addressed a number of issues. This includes motion 
compensation support for MPEG playback (XvMC), and the long-awaited DRI 
driver for 3D OpenGL code.

Ok, but on viaarena -- supposedly the /official/ support site for VIA/S3, they 
point back to probo.com (?#>#).   Here's their drivers:

I wrote Via's support department, but have not heard back.

Again, is there any knowledge about a savage driver that will support 3D 
OpenGL acceleration. 

I have a desparate need to play TuxRacer :D on my new machine.
