Description Hristo Ivanov 2007-04-03 19:57:21 UTC 
The DRI module is placed in the /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri directory, but it should be in the /usr/lib64/dri/ directory, from where AIGLX tries to load it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install ATI drivers, according to the gentoo-wiki HOWTO.
2.
3.

How about if you run eselect opengl set ati? And which ati-drivers version is this about?

This is after I've run "eselect opengl set ati" and the message comes from AIGLX. The version of the drivers is 8.32.5 and I got them from Portage.
I'm running 2.6.19-r5 kernel.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-05 19:02:46 UTC 
Well, so try w/ >=8.34.8
Comment 4 Michael Schnake 2007-04-20 10:32:47 UTC 
AFAIK ati-drivers do not work with AIGLX at all (because "ATI does not support AIGLX", not a thing the ebuild or gentoo could do anything about).

Or do the current linux drivers from ATI support AIGLX now at last? That would be what I call great news ;-)
