I've never had DRI / X working... The problem(s) you're having sounds like the problems I was having... Comment out 'Load "dri"' in xorg.conf and try it again. Nikolas, Alistair - There is still active work going on in the DRI/DRM section of X.org for ATI/Radeon. There were some partial fixes posted to FreeDesktop.org's bugzilla, but they require X 6.9.0-CURRENT. Nikolas' suggestion (commenting Load "DRI") does work, but I was able to get the DRI to function (with 3D OpenGL) using CURRENT X (as of two months ago; it may be even better now.) -- Don Wilde Org 01737 505-844-1126 If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
