hi,
i compiled today successfully the ati mach64 dri branch of dri.sourceforge.net .
for fellows who have the same chip (mostly on notebooks) i put together the steps which brought me to success at http//people.telecoma.net/rat/mach64/mach64dri.txt
its very rough written, and its inevitable to read also the dri compilation guide at dri.sourceforge.net section documentation.
i wrote the rough guide because there are some obsolete steps at the dri documentation and a few additional. simply compare the steps. maybe some of them are not obsoltete for you ...
be careful and of course no guaranty :-)
glxgears give me now 289 fps instead of 178 (compaq armada e500 pentium 800)
unfortunately Gem still gives the following errors when i create a gemwin:
error: GEM: Unable to create single buffer window error: GEM: Error creating const context error: GEM: A serious error occured creating const Context error: GEM: Do not continue!
compiling Gen again pointing at the new /usr/X11R6-DRI/libs did not help.
still i get also some errors in the XFree86.0.log but maybe one can discuss this later when a few people tried it out.
cheers

So it isn't a 3dfx related problem, as I've always thought.
