Thank you guys for your replies. I visited the link and added the following lines to the bottom of my xorg.conf file: Code: Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection I have also added my user account to the video group. However, glxinfo | grep direct does still say: Code: direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) And I have restarted the computer since I did these changes.
