[call for testers] linux DRI 7.4 port (graphics/linux-dri74)

[Boris Samorodov]

Hello List,


I'd like to ask you to test a port I've created. This port
is intended to replace graphics/linux_dri port (DRI 7.0)
and linux-f8-dri port (DRO 7.0.2). Only compat.linux.osrelease
2.6.16 may be used. I think that it may be used at FreeBSD-7.2
(no idea about earlier 7.x versions).

DRI drivers, libraries and binaries (glxinfo and glxgears)
were taken from Ubuntu-9.0.4. The port lacks libglut and libglide3
libraries (I didn't find them for Ubuntu-9.0.4).

Here it is: ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/linux/linux-dri74.shar

Get this shar file, and run it at /usr/ports:
% (cd /usr/ports && sudo sh <this_shar_file>)
Then you should replace your existing linux dri port with
this one.

The port was tested at 8-current with linux-f8 and linux-f10
(not yet at official ports tree) and recent xorg. Here are
the results:
-----
bb% /compat/linux/usr/bin/glxinfo| grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
bb% /compat/linux/usr/bin/glxgears            
9041 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1808.115 FPS
9056 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1811.171 FPS
9053 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1810.543 FPS
^C

Googleearth works for me but crashes at exitting.

Please, test this port and give a feedback.
