See my other post for the two Xorg-X11 drivers > in use on AMD64 with multiple sound cards. > You need both for DRI to work - a kernel module and a userspace X11 driver. On my system the kernel module is "via": via 41568 1 drm 62356 2 via via_agp 9088 1 agpgart 29744 2 drm,via_agp And the X driver is "via_drv.so": /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so If the X server is properly configured, the kernel modules will automatically be loaded when X starts. Check Xorg logs. Lee
