Ati Radeon 9500 Pro and DRI

[Noiano]

Hello everybody
I have installed the latest ati driver available for linux and I have the dri initialization problem. I have pasted my xorg log here: http://phpfi.com/296783.

Fglrx info says

libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1)

Segmentation fault

I have already tried to do the following

sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

but nothing changed and I am out of ideas.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I just realized this is not the proper sub forum . Sorry...moderators please move it to " AMD/ATI Linux "

Thanks

The error is clear, it is a problem with the kernel module not the file you are trying. Maybe it has not built for your kernel or there is a module mismatch. Check "dmesg" and "modinfo fglrx".

Well I have no practise with kernel stuff so I need guidance. The dmesg | grep fglrx says:

Maybe try an older driver to compare.

Maybe try an older driver to compare.

Well I've tried version 8.40.4 which works correctly but when I switch from a tty to another everything freezes (ctrl+fn). Same thing when I logout from gnome...

Is there any thing I can do with this version of the driver?

thanks
