Hi all,
I've just finished up packaging a 3D chess game called chess, which I mainly packaged to have something to test OGRE an OO 3D engine.
I've finally managed to get everything to work, but unfortunately chess is very slow on my radeon 9200, like 2 fps.
So I've got two questions: -can someone with good 3D card be it with binary drivers test this for me and see if it does work properly there? -can someone with a radeon 9600 or 9800 who is using the new opensource dri drivers for this card test this, to see how it works there?
You need to download (and build) the ogre, chess and coldet SRPMS from here: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede
chess needs both colder and ogre, so you must build and install those first.
For those interested here are the review requests: coldet: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196710 ogre: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196740 chess: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196744
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

I ran it successfully on FC4-x86_64 on an NVidia 6800 with the vendor's binary drivers. I wasn't sure how to capture the exact frame rate, but it was about as smooth as it could be.

Good to hear, if you run it from the cmdline it will print FPS on exit or you can press F12 to toggle the FPS showing while in game.

p.s.
Since you got this running and running as it should (IOW not at 2 fps), would you be willing to also review it?
And / or maybe even maintain it. I'm currently investigating of buying an radeon 9800 in combination with the new opensource r300 dri drivers is a solution to get this working properly on my system, but if it isn't I won't be capable to properly maintain it, reproducing problems is going to be impossible at 2 fps.

I'll go ahead and maintain it. It's a dependency for ember, a WorldForge client that we've been talking about on IRC.
I won't have a chance to do anything more with it until this weekend, though.

I assume you're talking about ogre hre, I was talking about both ogre and chess. I hope you will do chess too? Then I can cease my search for a better yer opensource supported videocard and once again be happy with my radeon 9250.

No problem.

Talking about ogre, I've used the SDL and not the GLX platform driver, see a small commment in the specfile about this. This comment includes a BZ nummer which refers to a BZ ticket about the use of Xrandr in another causing problems. This is however not game specific the use of Xrandr in general for resolution switching for games really is a bad idea, see BZ.
One of us should contact upstream and get them to switch to XF86VidMode instead, as I've done for gcompris.
