[Xorg] Sudden change made me lose DRI

Wed Jul 21 08:30:52 PDT 2004

Hi all,

I had until recently kernel 2.4.x and xfree, now I changed to
xorg-6.7.0 and kernel 2.6.7, using gentoo linux.
I don't have for some reason dri enabled and I'm not being able
to make it work.
euler root # glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: No

I load radeon and agpgart modules at startup. I have a ATI Radeon
Mobility 7500: (from lspci)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc
Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

Well, I have the following in my xorg log:
