Back to tearing my hair out.

[mwrsanchez]

Okay, so! I finally managed to figure out installing the ATi drivers. Now, when I do glxinfo | grep direct it's still telling me:

[m@localhost ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

Now this is where I start tearing my hair out - because the Livna drivers were giving me the same error, and I figured it was an unofficial driver bug.

I really don't know what to do here - because to my knowledge using XGL requires that XFree thing :S.

Can you post the output of:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

[mwrsanchez]

[root@localhost m]# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

Thanks :)

Add the following section to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:



Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Appreciate all the help guys.
