Description the.unseen 2006-06-06 21:01:30 UTC
I am using the (modular) xorg 7.1 builds on an Thinkpad T42 laptop that has a Mobility Radeon 9600 chip in it, and on a desktop machine with a Radeon 9000.  DRI fails completely on the 9600, but on the 9000, both DRI, and AIGLX (appear to) work flawlessly.  It also works with xorg 7.0, and I have not tested it with 6.8, XFree86, KDrive, or anything else.

The only nonstandard ebuilds I am using at time are except for the kernel (which includes gensplash, suspend2, and the most recent HDAPS drive parking patch from thinkwiki.org and not the standard gentoo patches), yaird, some HDAPS related utilities, the biometric stuff and a few meta packages.

dmesg shows nothing video related beyond "loading r300 microcode."
glxinfo prints the followin to stderr:
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

kernel is a patched 2.6.16.16
x11-drm is version 20051223

My "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" is:
