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
OK, my Xorg log shows this: (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so (II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2 (II) Loading sub module "drm" (II) LoadModule: "drm" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libdrm.so (II) Module drm: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2 (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI (II) LoadModule: "radeon" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 4.0.3 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8 (II) LoadModule: "ati" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 6.5.7 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8 Also, glxinfo tells me that direct rendering is working. So now I think everything has been working fine, I just have the open-source drivers instead of the binary only, which I'm hearing makes 3D rendering a bit slower. That's OK though, since I'm not much into 3D gaming with my audio workstation... Thank you all for your help on this! Cheers, -TimH
