[PD] [GEM] gem and video ?

[Yves Degoyon]

speaking of my own configuration,
( the card is a Trident Cyberblade AGP )
they recommend to activate dri in the kernel to make
it work, so I think it is definitely supported by the hardware.

Maybe, the driver or Mesa can't handle it ??

With Direct X, all tests succeed.

What's that tinkering I've heard of ??
