Description Eric Johnson 2007-05-09 00:13:27 UTC 
fglrxinfo would always show Mesa as the 3D rendering engine (new install, just put on X on a Lenovo T60p).

Issue tracked down here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_fglrx#Perpetual_Mesa_GLX_Indirect_on_Debian

I applied the fix on my local box, and suddenly I get 3D acceleration again.

Reproducible: Always




This is potentially an upstream bug - I did not look at how the ATI drivers are installled by the ebuild.
