DRI anyone?

[Net Llama!]

well, i got to the point where i saw:
direct rendering: Yes

however, if i try & run glxgears, my entire X session goes to hell, with
the output getting literally smeared horizontally across the screen.  this
was with 32MB of memory specified in XF86Config.  when i reduced it to
4096, X fails to start altogether, and i see these errors:
[drm:i810_unlock] *ERROR* Process 587 using kernel context 0
mtrr: base(0xf8000000) is not aligned on a size(0x4b0000) boundary

here's what i did:

rebuilt 2.4.20 with DRM support, and also compiled the relevant i810
module.  lsmod shows:
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
i810                   73464   1
agpgart                21728   7 (autoclean)

i810 is what i have, so this should be a no brainer.

done

this doesn't appear to be supported by i810 as far as i can tell.

done that too.

any suggestions/ideas?
