Re: Having troubles with DRI on FC6

I solved my own problem with some help from the X.org mailing list.

The libGL supplied by ATI was not being used because of what appears
to be an install problem with with the livna package
(xorg-x11-drv-fglrx.x86_64). I changed the symlink
/usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 to point to /usr/lib64/ati-fglrx/libGL.so.1.2
and everything is fine.

The key troubleshooting technique was to use ldd on glxinfo to see
what libGL libraries it was using. It should have been using the ones
in /usr/lib64/ati-fglrx but it wasn't.

I have installed FC6 x86_64 on my Inspiron 9400 laptop. It has an ATI
Mobility Radeon X1400 video card. I installed the latest ATI fglrx
driver. AIGLX won't work with my setup so I disabled it and the
Composite extension in xorg.conf.

According to the Xorg log file everything seems to load fine. There
are no errors and only 3 warnings:
fglrx(0): board is an unknown third party board, chipset is supported
fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used
It indicates that DRI has been enabled:
fglrx(0): DRI initialization successful!

But, glxinfo gives me this:
direct rendering: No

And, fglrxinfo has the OpenGL vendor string set to Mesa project.

glxgears is giving me about 500 fps which, I think, is very slow.

Any ideas on what I can try next?

thanks,
charlie
