[FIXED_X11R68x] Fix roland.mainz: 6.8-branch+

Description Egbert Eich 2005-01-11 09:01:22 UTC 
To use 3D on Tdfx HW the Glide HW abstraction in libGlide3 is required.
This lib is open source - however it only exists for x86 and AXP.
Therefore it should not be build on any of these platforms.
Patch is going to be attached.

        * config/cf/xorg.cf:
        Don't build tdfx DRI driver on any platform but x86 and AXP
        as therequired Glide3 lib is only available there (if at all).
        Readability fixes (Bugzilla #2264).

As I stated on the list, libglide3 is also available for amd64 and ia64.

Can you make a patch for that, please ?

There is no pointer to those libs anywhere in the code. 
Please supply a pointer.
Comment 8 Egbert Eich 2005-01-26 02:04:27 UTC 
Daniel won't know that he's been asked a question when not in Cc: ;-)

I would like to add the proper defines for tdfx DRI support for all platforms
for which a libglide is available. However we should add a pointer to the site(s)
where the lib may be obtained from.
Comment 9 Daniel Stone 2005-01-30 06:20:03 UTC 
Sorry, don't know where they're available from; all I know is that, on
Debian/Ubuntu, libglide3 is built for alpha (AXP), amd64 (x86_64), i386 (ia32,
x86) and ia64.  I assume that this is the largest possible subset, since Debian
builds for about 14 architectures, all things considered, and others do not
build libglide3 (deliberately: the source packages specifies which architectures
it can build on, which defaults to 'any'; the choice of alpha/amd64/i386/ia64
was a deliberate one).
Comment 10 Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 2005-02-06 14:20:08 UTC 
Glide also exists on PPC and SPARC architecture.

We (PLD) were successfully building tdfx_dri.so for %{ix86} ia64 alpha ppc 
trough real use of this driver was zero on non x86 arches.

This patch was needed for Glide:

Comment 11 Daniel Stone 2005-02-06 16:15:04 UTC 
Er, I think the people who are using 3Dfx cards on amd64 (they still have PCI
slots, y'know), i386, ia64 and alpha would disagree with you there.  It is still
valuable for non-x86 architectures.
Comment 12 Adam Jackson 2005-04-03 14:35:46 UTC 
mass update: the fix for this bug was applied to both HEAD and the stable 6.8 branch, but the bug was 
never closed.  closing now.
