This will enable Direct Rendering Infrastructure (in other words 3D acceleration) for your savage video card on an INTEL 686 (WITHOUT HYPERTHREADING).
First of all from terminal do a:
 Code:
|
| sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 build-essential |
Now install the kernel image for your Intel 686 processor (without hyperthreading):
|
Code:
|
| sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-10-686 sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.12-10-686 sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-686 |
Then restart the comp and boot into the 686-smp kernel image from grub (u will get that option). Now remove linux-image-2.6.12-10-386 and linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386 (if installed) from synaptic
restart your comp (or just X server). Enjoy games like ppracer with 3D acceleration!
