XFree86 & Neomagic: DRI missing?

[Patrick]

Fully updated Fedora as of Oct 30, 23:15 CET. When I run glxgears it
complains: Xlib: extensions "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

I thought 3D hardware acceleration was supported on the Neomagic NM2200.
Any ideas?

TIA,
Patrick

DRI 3D acceleration has never been supported on any Neomagic
video hardware by XFree86 ever.

Must have misinterpreted the info on xfree86.org. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,

The chip supports it, IIRC. But implementing it requires access
to docs/specs, and the time and inclination to do it.
