No problem.

[explanation snipped]

The current SiS driver (from my website as well as in X.org and XFree86
CVS) circumvents this situation by explicitely loading the "glx" module
as well in case DRI is to be used.

Okay. I'm attempting an update of our 4.3.0 packages to the latest version
of your driver.

Hence:

While disabling/enabling DRI previously was done by
commenting/uncommenting the "Load "dri"" statement in the
Module-section, this is now done by a dedicated "DRI" option (to be
placed in the Device-section).

Option "DRI" "off"

disables DRI (and skips loading "dri" and "glx").

So, perhaps you can yourself classify the quality of this misbehavior according to your three options ;)

Heh; C) it is. :)

Thanks for your reply!

Branden,

do NOT use the Imakefile from my archive. It is for 4.2 and earlier (due
to new file, old files removed, etc)

Use the Imakefile you previously used.

And I'd be grateful if you could check that you're using the 08/20
version (as of yesterday, that is).

Thomas

Sorry, I remember now that you've told me this before. I've improved the
patch annotation to indicate this.

version (as of yesterday, that is).

It was the latest version available from your site, and I reconfirmed that.
For me, the most recent timestamp was late on 08/19.

I have integrated this version of the driver into the Debian XFree86 SVN
trunk.

Thanks!

retitle 254601 xserver-xfree86: [sis] driver autoloads 'dri' but not 'glx', which can cause complaints about unresolved symbols
tag 254601 = upstream
severity 254601 normal
thanks

No problem. Thanks for following up!

Sounds like B) to me.

Stepping severity down to normal because there is a known workaround:

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "Module"
[...]
Load "glx"
[...]
EndSection
