Hi Sven,
   OK, I gave driconf a try but it didn't seem to work. Then in a bit
of luck someone on the ATI graphics list (I have Intel, ATI and Nvidia
so I have to subscribe to lots of lists!) asked the same question.
Turns out driconf builds the file but in the driver section it puts
the graphics driver name. This needs to be replaced with "dri2".

   I did that, the message is gone and now I get about 700FPS.

   Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mark
