In such cases, reduce the resolution and/or refresh rate and/or color depth, or use one output (CRT1 or CRT2) only.

Did you try any of those? I'm guessing you'd want to try reducing the refresh rate and/or color depth (try 16-bit).

C. Those notes don't apply to XOrg 7.0+ (and are for the non-features version). There's some compiling steps for sisp.tar.gz on that Ubuntu thread, though you'll have to find out what dependencies you'll have to install (probably xorg72-dev will be of interest).

Thanks for keeping with me here....

I tried reducing resolution to 1280x1024 (didn't help) Maybe an even lower resolution would help, but I would rather live with Vesa before doing that. Going down to 8 bit color helped, but was not very pretty...

Did try following the ubuntu steps after grabbing your dev libraries, but I think my newbie status is getting in the way and I didn't put things in the right place...

It looks to me like what I really want is to overlay the development tar ball onto the existing /opt/xorg72 directory structure so that /opt/xorg72 includes the include directory and the lib includes the pkg information. At that point, I think the ./configure would set things up right and the compile would generate the pages of compile errors (undefines...) that I am getting.

The one problem is that xorg72 uci is mounted ro and so just unpacking the tar ball on top of /opt doesn't get me far... RTFM suggestions gladly accepted...

You can copy the directory in /opt to another one, i.e. to be stored on ramdisk. Then uninstall the uci, and rename the folder back to it's original. These instructions are posted somewhere as well...

I found this to be a handy way to work when building programs that require multiple compilations. When you have to stop part way to do something else, you can make a quick .uci and then load, copy, unload & copy back to start-up where you left off.

In this particular case:

Code Sample

$ mydsl-load /path/xorg72.uci [1st time loads extension]
$ sudo cp -r /opt/xorg72 /tmp
$ mydsl-load /path/xorg72.uci [2nd time unloads extension]
$ sudo cp -r /tmp/xorg72 /opt
$ sudo rm -r /tmp/xorg72 [optional]
$ mydsl-load /path/xorg72-dev.tar.gz

Thanks for both suggestions! I got passed that newbie roadblock, on to the next one. ;-)

I am now tracking down dependencies (as predicted).

The ./configure initially failed on the lack of a libdrm.pc in the pkgconfig directory. However, libdrm.so does live in the xorg72/lib directory, so I set the appropriate linker/compile flags environment variables to bypass that one.

But during the make, I am getting a bunch of syntax errors out of xorg72/include/GL/glxint.h... Given they are "missing type" errors it *looks* like it might be do to a missing header file. And specifically it looks like "GL/gl.h" is MIA (ran a quick find, and didn't find it...) Suggestions?
